VA PASS - ABD Income Exclusion - Medicaid

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

·             Income, whether earned or unearned, of a blind or disabled recipient may be excluded if such income is needed to fulfill a Plan for Achieving Self Support (PASS). The Social Security Administration determines if a recipient of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is entitled to a PASS exclusion.

This exclusion does not apply to blind or disabled individuals age 65 or older, unless they were receiving SSI or State disability or blind payments for the month before they became age 65.
