Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) and the Community Spouse Income Allocation
There is one last item to discuss before applying what you have learned.
When a community spouse income allocation is made available to the community spouse, the amount of the allocation may also be used as a deduction on the MSP income calculation. Determine an income allocation if it is needed for the client to be income-eligible for the best MSP program.
This is a unique situation, but one that is important to remember because by applying this additional deduction a client may be eligible for one of these programs!
