Financial Eligibility Requirements

Þ A CCSP Medicaid eligible person may divert up to $2,377.50 per month of income to a legal spouse who is neither in the CCSP nor an institution. The legal spouse’s income is deducted from the $2,377.50 limit before determining the amount of income to divert.

 

Þ If the CCSP Medical application has a spouse who is neither in CCSP nor an institution, the assets of the spouse MUST be considered in the eligibility determination. The total combined assets of the individual and the spouse must be $97,100 or less. The CCSP client must transfer assets in his/her name in excess of $2,000 to the community spouse within one year from the month Medicaid eligibility begins.
