Mont. Admin. r. 37.82.301 - MAGI AS THE MEASURE OF INCOME
(1) Effective
January 1, 2014, except for members receiving aged, blind, or disabled benefits
or benefits based on participation in a Medicaid home and community-based
services waiver, a person's income must be determined in accordance with
42 U.S.C.
1396 a(e)(14) (2015), which establishes
modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) as the required measure of
income.
(2) To create uniformity
among the states for income disregards, federal regulation
42 CFR
435.603 (d)(4) (2015) requires a state to
subtract an amount equal to five percentage points of the current FPL to
determine an individual's eligibility. This is implemented by increasing the
maximum income to qualify for Medicaid from 133% to 138% of the current
FPL.
