Aged and Disabled FPL Program
Effective January 1, 2000, there is a new $0 share of cost program for aged and disabled persons. To be eligible for this program, the individual or couple must be aged or disabled and not in Long-Term Care.
To qualify for this program, a single individual will have an effective income limit of $926 based on $696 + a $230 disregard. (The ACWDL does not specify if this income limit is a net or gross income limit, but it is a net income limit.) A couple will have an effective income limit of $1248 based on $938 + a $310 disregard.
If persons who qualify for this $0 share of cost program have other family members who apply for Medi-Cal, the qualifying member(s) will be an ineligible member of the other family member's Medi-Cal Family Budget Unit (MFBU). The income of the qualifying member(s) will be counted as will the needs of the qualifying members in computing the share of cost for the other family members.
