VA One-Half Remaining Earned Income - ABD Income Exclusion - Medicaid

When determining Medicaid income eligibility for Aged, Blind and Disabled (ABD) Covered Groups:

·             First subtract:

o    Any of the $20 General Exclusion that is not used to lower unearned income;

o    Up to $10 of Irregular or Infrequent Income;

o    Any Earned Income Tax Credit payments;

o    Any Student Earned Income Exclusion; and

o    The $65 Earned Income Exclusion.

·             Then subtract one-half of the remaining amount. This will give you the countable earned income prior to subtracting any Blind Work Expenses (BWEs) or income included in a Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS).
