Regulation Authority:
RIGL 40-8; Title XIX of the Social Security Act, Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Acy of 2008
Purpose and Reason:
This amended rule revises the resource limits to be consistent with provisions of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA), PL 110-275, as well as removes barriers to applications for the Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) and the Medicare Savings Programs (MSP). Resource limits for the Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMB), Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiaries (SLMB) and Qualifying Individuals (QI) Programs are $6600 for a single person and $9910 for a married person living with a spouse and no other dependents. The Department implemented the increased resource limits through emergency rule-making April 13, 2010 to ensure the resource limit for QMB, SLMB and QIs conformed to the resource limits for individuals who qualify for the full subsidy Medicare Part D LIS, and established procedures to re-determine applications received from January 1, 2010 using the higher resource limits.
