Chapter 3-000 Determination of ADC/MA Benefits

ADC/MA assistance consists of money payments to the ADC/MA payee and/or payments made directly to the provider for medical care and services. The amount of the assistance payment to the ADC/MA payee is determined by completing the following steps:

  1. Total gross countable earned income;
  2. Subtract 20 percent of earned income;
  3. Subtract child care paid out-of-pocket;
  4. Subtract the remaining earned income from the appropriate Standard of Need (see 468 NAC 2-009.01A);
  5. Compare the result of step 4 to the appropriate payment standard;
  6. Show the lower of the payment standard or the difference from step 4;
  7. Subtract unearned income from the amount shown in step 6;
  8. The result of step 7 is the amount of the grant.

Provider payments for medical requirements are determined according to the standards and regulations established for the Nebraska Medical Assistance Program (see Title 471).
