In determining eligibility, whose income is counted?



 

For eligibility purposes, only the patient's income is considered. The current standard is $2,022 per month. However, even if the patient's income exceeds the standard, an "Income Cap" Trust (also called a "Miller" Trust) can be used to bring the income (for eligibility purposes) to within the limit.
