Regulation Authority:
RIGL 40-6; TITLE XIX OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
Purpose and Reason:
The Medicaid rules are amended to reflect the cost-of-living increases to the federal Social Security Administration benefit rates, the medically needy income limits and the categorically needy net monthly income limits for aged, blind, or disabled individuals and couples. In addition, the rule has been amended to clarify that the provisions in this Section do not apply to the individuals and families in the Medicaid affordable coverage groups identified in MCAR Section 1301 that take effect on January 1, 2014 and the provisions of this Section are applicable only to individuals and families who were enrolled and receiving Medicaid coverage prior to January 1, 2014, as specified. Other technical revisions to the rule include changing references from Medical Assistance to Medicaid.
Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril:
To avoid wrongful denial or discontinuance of benefits for applicants/beneficiaries.
