The Community Spouse Resource Allowance ("CSRA") for 2017, the amount at home spouse can have in countable assets is $120,900 in assets.
The maximum amount of income the at home spouse is guaranteed to receive is $3,023. 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 and early 2017 the Average Private Pay Rate ("APPR") for nursing homes is $8,189. The APPR is used in calculating the term of ineligibility if an individual gives non-exempt assets to other individuals.
Kevin Staker has stated:
Medi-Cal will release a new APPR usually in April 2017. This figure is used for calculating a period of ineligibility if an individual makes improperly large gifts
