2016 Medi-Cal Amounts for Long Term Care by Kevin Staker
The Community Spouse Resource Allowance ("CSRA") for 2016, the amount at home spouse can have in countable assets is $119,220 in assets.
The maximum amount of income the at home spouse is guaranteed to receive is $2,981. This amount is called the Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance ("MMMNA"). The MMMNA can be increased by going to Court and requesting additional support for the at home spouse from the income of the ill spouse.
For 2016 the Average Private Pay Rate ("APPR") for nursing homes for 2016 is $8,189. The APPR is used in calculating the term of ineligibility if an individual gives non-exempt assets to other individuals.
