Regulation Authority:
RIGL 40-8; Title XIX of the Social Security Act
Purpose and Reason:
The proposed amendment to the Medical Assistance Program Rule relects 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, 2012, the following standards are implemented: Minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance (MMMNA) for a community spouse with no income is increased to $1,891.25; the basic allowance for a dependent living with a community spouse when the dependent has no income is increased to $630.42; the excess shelter allowance is increased to $567.38.
Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril:
Emergency rule-making is being initiated to ensure the minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance (MMMNA) a for community spouse with no income is increased to $1,891.25; to ensure the basic allowance for a dependent living with a community spouse when the dependent has no income is increased to $630.42; and to increase the excess shelter allowance to $567.38.
