SUBJECT:  UPDATE TO THE 5% DISREGARD TO INCLUDE THE ADULT EXPANSION GROUP (AEG) AND SIMPLIFIED EXAMPLES

MANUAL REVISION #
1805.030.20.20.05

 

DISCUSSION:

Section 1805.030.20.20.05 Calculation of the Five Percent Disregard has been updated to replace “MO HealthNet for Families – Adult category only” with Adult Expansion Group (AEG). The formula to calculate the five percent disregard has not changed; however, the examples have been updated to provide a formula and references Federal Poverty Limits (FPL) percentages versus specific dollar amounts.

 

NECESSARY ACTION:

  • Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
