Regulation Authority:
RIGL 40-6; TITLE XIX OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
Purpose and Reason:
The Medicaid rules are amended effective January 1, 2014 to reflect an increase in the resource limits for the Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMB), Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiaries (SLMB), and Qualifying Individuals (QI) Programs. The resource limits for the QMB, SLMB, and QI Programs have been increased from $7,080 to $7,160 for a single person and from $10,620 to $10,750 for a married person living with a spouse and no other dependents. The Medicare Part B Premium amount remains the same for 2014 at $104.90. Other technical revisions to the rule include changing references from Medical Assistance to Medicaid.
Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril:
To prevent wrongful denial or discontinuance of benefits for Medicaid applicants and beneficiaries.
