What Did The Proposal To Eliminate Medicaid Spousal Refusal Mean To New York Families

The 2012 - 2013 Executive Budget proposed an amendment to Social Services Law §366(3)(a) to provide that for Medicaid eligibility the income and resources of a legally responsible relative (including a spouse) would be resources for home care services.

Spousal Planning Issues

Under the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act (MCCA), states are given the discretion to establish an income allowance for the community spouse (which, in 1989, was $1,500) to be adjusted every year for inflation. New York has consistently chosen the highest income allowance, which currently is $2,841 per month.
