Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 10:69-10.30 - Initial eligibility and application of disregards

(a) On all new applications, reapplications, or reopened applications, initial financial eligibility must be established before an HBID Card can be issued.

1. For AFDC-C- and F-related Medicaid cases, when the eligible family received AFDC-related Medicaid program assistance in one of the four months prior to the month of application, all earned income disregards at N.J.A.C. 10:69-10.13 shall apply to the determination of initial eligibility. For AFDC-C- and AFDC-F-related Medicaid cases that have not received AFDC-related Medicaid benefits in one of the four months prior to the month of application, the earned income disregards apply, except that the disregard of the first $ 30.00 of the remaining income plus one-third of the remainder does not apply. If total income equals or exceeds the income standard in this subchapter for the eligible family size, the family is ineligible for Medicaid. In the computation of initial Medicaid eligibility, application of the $ 30.00 and one-third earned income disregards is subject to the limitations at N.J.A.C. 10:69-10.13.

2. The earned income of a full-time student shall be disregarded in determining initial Medicaid eligibility to the same extent as provided in 10:69-10.15. The income of a part-time student is not disregarded in determining initial eligibility.
