Emily Anderson
Let’s determine Emily’s obligation for last month. She will be switching to the LTC income calculation for the current month. That calculation will be discussed in the next module.
To Do: Complete the first month column only on the Elderly, Disabled and Blind Income Computation Worksheets (DHS-0029C) for Emily and then answer the questions below.
Note: For training purposes, do not deduct the COLA disregards when completing Emily’s income calculation, even if you are completing it in January through June.
1. What is Emily’s certification period?
2. What income standard did you use?
3. Does Emily have a spenddown?
4. Is Emily eligible for MA-LTC for last month?
5. Is Emily eligible for an MSP?
To Do: Update the “Medical Spenddown” line of the “Client Obligation and Service Delivery” section of Emily’s MA-LTC Case Checklist (DHS-5590) with her original spenddown amount for last month.
