SUBJECT: UPDATES TO MO HEALTHNET POLICY REGARDING CERTAIN NATIVE AMERICAN (INDIAN) TRIBAL PROPERTIES AND INCOMES
MANUAL REVISION #
0805.015.10
1035.005.05.05
1805.030.20.10
DISCUSSION:
A new section, 1035.005.05.05 Native American (Indian) Tribal Lands and Property, is added to the December 1973 Eligibility Requirements Manual. This section describes treatment of certain tribal lands and other properties and incomes derived from those lands and properties.
Section 0805.015.10 Income Exclusions in the MO HealthNet for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled (MHABD) Manual is updated to exclude certain Native American incomes and to align with Family MO HealthNet (MAGI) policy section 1805.030.20.10 Income Excluded Under MAGI.
Information is added to both updated sections above to explain that payments issued to individual members of a tribe on a per capita basis, such as casino profits, are countable income in the month received.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
