(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. 1396a(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.
