Introduction
Income eligibility is one requirement for many of Minnesota’s Health Care Programs. For people requesting MA payment of LTC, income is used to determine the client’s obligation toward their cost of care. To determine an MA-LTC client’s obligation, different income calculations are used based on a variety of criteria. The client obligation may be in the form of a spenddown, a waiver obligation or, in the case of the MA for Employed Persons with Disabilities (MA-EPD), a premium.
This course focuses on the types of income calculations used to determine MA-LTC.
Topics include:
- Types of income calculations.
- Changing income calculations from one type to another.
- Deductions, disregards and allowances available with each type of income calculation.
