This section describes the methodology to be used in determining countable resources and income for the low-income subsidy (LIS) program which is based in part on supplemental security income (SSI) methodology. These guidelines are used for initial and on-going eligibility for medicare beneficiaries enrolled in part A or part B medicare. LIS eligibility is determined prospectively. Applicants/ recipients must meet, or expect to meet, all financial and non-financial eligibility criteria in the month for which a determination of eligibility is made.
