Section 120.75  Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLIB) Income Standards

The SLIB income standards are equal to a percentage of the then current Federal Poverty Level (FPL) Income Guidelines as published annually in the Federal Register for the size of the household.  If the household's countable monthly income (see 89 Ill. Adm. Code 112, 113, 120) exceeds the appropriate SLIB income standard, eligibility for SLIB status does not exist.  The applicable percentages are as follows:

a)         Effective January 5, 1998, the SLIB income standard is at least 100 percent of the FPL, but less than 135 percent of the FPL.

b)         Effective January 5, 1998, persons with incomes that are at least 135 percent of the FPL, but less than 175 percent of the FPL, may receive the special monthly payment described in Section 120.73(f).
