24.05ar1 - Spenddown Standards (Archive) |
Archived: January 1, 2010 |
Clients in the community, whose total net countable income is greater than the applicable non-spenddown Federal Poverty Guideline (FPG), must have their eligibility calculated using a FPG spenddown standard.
Which FPG spenddown standard to use is based on the client’s basis of eligibility and method of calculating income. There are two spenddown standards:
l 100% FPG: Use this spenddown standard for clients using Method A income calculations. These are completed for people using a families and children basis of eligibility.
l 75% FPG: Use this spenddown standard for clients using Method B calculations. These are completed for people using the blind, disabled or age 65 and over bases of eligibility.
Note: There is not a spenddown standard for the Medicare Savings Programs or GAMC because these programs do not allow a spenddown.
