Income Rules

To enable the medically needy child to qualify for Medically Needy Children Medical Assistance, the household must satisfy the Medically Needy Income Test. The household's net countable income must be less than or equal to the Medically Needy Income Level (MNIL) which is 133% of Federal Poverty Level.

See the Family - Common Income Rules chapter for the steps to calculate the household's total countable income.
