This is a special income level (SIL) test. The income test checks for less than 300% of SSI federal benefit rate.
These are the steps to follow when determining income eligibility for LTC related programs:
- Determine the appropriate financial unit.
(See the Financial Unit section in this chapter.)
- For the financial unit determined, carry out
the steps outlined for the Gross Income Test. Run the deductions. (See the Deductions section in this chapter.)
- If the client fails the LTC Gross Income Test the
client is ineligible for LTC.
