Medicaid resource levels for the year 2018 are shown in GIS 17 MA/20, which is dated 12/28/17. PLEASE NOTE: I have been told that on 01/03/18, local social services districts were notified that there is an error. The spousal impoverishment figures and statement in Attachment I of the GIS are incorrect. However, the figures in the text of the GIS itself are correct. By 01/16/18, the figures in the Attachment had been corrected.
Medicaid Financial Eligibility Rules for Nursing Home Care in New York State should be updated as follows:
