Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 23-101-1.3
Current through September 24, 2024
A. Coverage for children, pregnant women, parents and caretaker relatives are referred to as MAGI-related coverage due to the application of Modified Adjusted Gross Income or MAGI standards to these groups.
1. Income
standards for MAGI-related coverage are referred to as MAGI-equivalent
standards.
2. Effective January 1,
2014, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) required that net income thresholds in
effect prior to the ACA be converted to equivalent MAGI levels to account for
income disregards eliminated by the ACA.
B. Coverage of the aged, blind and disabled are referred to as ABD coverage.
1. ABD
policy is based on the most closely related cash assistance program, which is
the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.
2. The ABD program area uses SSI policy rules
except:
a) In categories that have been
allowed to use more liberal methodologies through State Plan approval, and
b) When changes in federal
Medicaid regulations take precedence over SSI policy.
