A customer’s counted income must not be more than the income limit for ALTCS.
NOTE A customer receiving SSI-Cash, Title IV-E Foster Care or Title IV-E Adoption Assistance is considered income eligible for ALTCS unless the customer has a disqualifying trust. When a customer receives one of these payments and disbursements from a Special Treatment Trust, the disbursements are counted for eligibility as described in MA803A.8.
