4-005.01 Maximum Available Resource Levels
469 NAC 4-005.01
The established maximum for available resources which the client, or the client and responsible relative, may own and still be considered eligible for MA, according to unit size, are as follows:
|
1. One member unit - client only |
$4000 |
If a couple has a valid designation of resources and -
a. There is an eligible spouse and an ineligible spouse, the resource level for the eligible spouse is $4,000; or
b. The ineligible spouse later becomes eligible, each spouse is allowed $4,000.
|
2. Two member unit - |
$6000 |
a. Client and eligible spouse;
b. Client and ineligible spouse; or
c. Client and ineligible spouse who have designated resources but the client returns home or no longer is eligible for waiver services.
For procedures on designating resources, see 469 NAC 2-009.02C ff. For resource levels for grant, see 469 NAC 2-009.08.
If two or more related AABD/MA or SDP/MA clients (other than a married couple), i.e., an eligible AABD/MA parent and his/her eligible AABD/MA minor child or two or more unrelated eligible AABD/MA clients, reside in the same household, each client is entitled to a resource maximum of $4000.
The treatment of resources of a spouse or a parent is the same as for a client (see 469 NAC 4-005).
If the total equity value of available non-excluded resources exceeds the maximums specified above, the client(s) is ineligible. Resources must be below the maximum resource level for one day in the month in order for the client to be eligible for that month.
