All income of the applicant or recipient and other members of the Medicaid unit must be considered.

 

The same budgeting applies regardless of whether the individual lives in the individual’s own home, a specialized facility, or a nursing facility.

 

Recipients with family income at or below 200% of the poverty level can be eligible under the Children with Disabilities coverage.  

 

If the family passes the 200% eligibility test, the premium required to obtain the coverage is equal to 5% of the family’s gross countable income. The Children with Disabilities premium is offset by any premium amount the family pays toward a family health insurance policy in which the disabled child is covered.
