Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 23-103-4.18
Current through September 24, 2024
A. General.
1. An individual cannot always disburse cash
given to him/her to purchase medical or social services in the month of
receipt.
2. To permit use of the
funds as intended, it is reasonable to assume, for a limited time, that the
individual will use them to pay for approved services and, therefore, that they
are not available for support and maintenance.
B. Treatment.
1. A cash payment for medical or social
services that is not income also is not a resource for the month following
month of receipt.
2. Exception:
Even though it is not income, cash received as repayment for bills an
individual has already paid is a resource and if retained, is counted the month
after receipt.
