Mississippi Administrative Code
Title 23 - Division of Medicaid
Part 104 - Income
Chapter 2 - What is Income
Rule 23-104-2.2 - Relationship of Income to Resources
Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 23-104-2.2
Current through September 24, 2024
A. The following must be considered in determining the relationship of income to resources:
1. Anything received in a month, from any
source is income to an individual, subject to the SSI definition of
income.
2. Anything the individual
owned prior to the month under consideration is subject to resource counting
rules.
3. The same item cannot be
counted as both a resource and income in the same month. An item received for
the current month is income for the current month only. If held by the
individual until the following month, that item is subject to resource counting
rules. Any exceptions are noted in the discussion of the particular type of
income involved.
a) Example: Mr. Jones
receives his Social Security check in March. It is directly deposited into his
checking account. Count the Social Security check as income in March and
subtract the deposit from the checking account to determine how much he has in
resources for March. If Mr. Jones carries all or part of the check into April,
the remaining amount is counted as a resource.
