(b) Redetermination of available income. If the redetermination is made before 6 months have passed since the last application or reapplication or last redetermination, the county office will make a finding as to how much the client has paid or has obligated himself to pay, during this period for medical services out of the amount previously considered available. This amount will be deducted from the new income computation, and only the excess will be considered available in determining the amount to meet the cost of MA care, in accordance with § 177.83(c)(8) (reserved).
