Text

5. (a) This section applies beginning on the
date on which the United States Department of Health and Human
Services approves the request for changes by the office under this
section.
(b) This subsection applies to applicants or recipients who are
exempt from the use of modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) as
described in 42 U.S.C. 1396a(e)(14)(D) in determining eligibility. The
office may not consider income earned by an applicant, a recipient, or
a member of the applicant's or recipient's family for participating in:
(1) a work based learning course (as defined in IC 20-43-8-0.7);
or
(2) paid postsecondary work experience that allows the individual
to apply for a related apprenticeship (as defined by IC 20-43-8-0.3);
as income in determining the applicant's or recipient's eligibility for
Medicaid.
(c) For an applicant or recipient for whom the modified adjusted
gross income (MAGI) is applicable, the office shall elect to apply a
reasonable method to include a prorated portion of reasonably
predictable future income as a factor concerning the income earned by
the applicant or recipient by participating in a work based learning
course, as set forth in 42 CFR 435.603(h)(3).
(d) The office shall apply for any state plan amendment or Medicaid
waiver necessary to implement this section.
