_____________________________________________________________

Determine net income for MEAD by applying the APTD or ANB treatment and disregards to the individual's and the spouse's gross income, if residing together, based on the individual's disability.

Net income is also determined as noted above if either or both spouses qualify for HCBC services. If the couple meets MEAD financial eligibility requirements, and either or both spouses meet the medical criteria for HCBC services, the HCBC-eligible individual is opened for HCBC services on New HEIGHTS as a group size of 1, but financial eligibility is based on a group size of 2.

The individual's and spouse's net income, if residing together, must not exceed 450% of the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines for the appropriate group size.
