Regulation Authority:
RIGL 40 - 8; TITLE XIX of the Social Security Act
Purpose and Reason:
The proposed amendments to the Medical Assistance Program rules reflect statutory increases in the basic allowances for a community spouse and other dependents of an institutionalized individual. These basic allowances are used in the post-eligibility treatment of income process to calculate the allocation of income from an institutionalized individual to community dependents. Effective July 1, 2011, the following standards are implemented: • Minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance (MMMNA) for a community spouse with no income is increased to $1,838.75. • The basic allowance for a dependent living with a community spouse when the dependent has no income is increased to $612.92. • The excess shelter allowance is increased to $551.63.
Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril:
Emergency rule-making is being initiated to ensure the minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance (MMMNA) for a community spouse with no income is increased to $1,838.75; to ensure the basic allowance for a dependent living with a community spouse when the dependent has no income is increased to $612.92; and to increase the excess shelter allowance $551.63.
