Residential care assistance; eligibility; alternative placement for individuals with an intellectual disability; personal allowance and other amounts retained
Status: in_force

Sec. 2.1. (a) An individual who is incapable of residing in the individual's own home may apply for residential care assistance under this section. The determination of eligibility for residential care assistance is the responsibility of the division. Except as provided in subsection (h), an individual is eligible for residential care assistance if the division determines that the individual:

(1) is a recipient of Medicaid or the federal Supplemental Security Income program;

(2) is incapable of residing in the individual's own home because of dementia, mental illness, or a physical disability;

(3) requires a degree of care less than that provided by a health care facility licensed under IC 16-28;

(4) can be adequately cared for in a residential care setting; and

(5) has not made any asset transfer prohibited under the state plan or in 42 U.S.C. 1396p(c) in order to be eligible for Medicaid.

(b) Individuals with an intellectual disability may not be admitted to a home or facility that provides residential care under this section.

(c) A service coordinator employed by the division may:

(1) evaluate a person seeking admission to a home or facility under subsection (a); or

(2) evaluate a person who has been admitted to a home or facility under subsection (a), including a review of the existing evaluations in the person's record at the home or facility.

If the service coordinator determines the person evaluated under this subsection has an intellectual disability, the service coordinator may recommend an alternative placement for the person.

(d) Except as provided in section 5 of this chapter, residential care consists of only room, board, and laundry, along with minimal administrative direction. The recipient may retain from the recipient's income a monthly personal allowance of fifty-two dollars ($52). This amount is exempt from income eligibility consideration by the division and may be exclusively used by the recipient for the recipient's personal needs. However, if the recipient's income is less than the amount of the personal allowance, the division shall pay to the recipient the difference between the amount of the personal allowance and the recipient's income. A reserve or an accumulated balance from such a source, together with other sources, may not be allowed to exceed the state's resource allowance allowed for adults eligible for state supplemental assistance or Medicaid as established by the rules of the office of Medicaid policy and planning.

(e) In addition to the amount that may be retained as a personal allowance under this section, an individual shall be allowed to retain an amount equal to the individual's state and local income tax liability. The amount that may be retained during a month may not exceed one-third (1/3) of the individual's state and local income tax liability for the calendar quarter in which that month occurs. This amount is exempt from income eligibility consideration by the division. The amount retained shall be used by the individual to pay any state or local income taxes owed.

(f) In addition to the amounts that may be retained under subsections (d) and (e), an eligible individual may retain a Holocaust victim's settlement payment. The payment is exempt from income eligibility consideration by the division.

(g) The personal allowance for one (1) month for an individual described in subsection (a) is the amount that an individual would be entitled to retain under subsection (d) plus an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the remainder of:

(1) gross earned income for that month; minus

(2) the sum of:

(A) sixteen dollars ($16); plus

(B) the amount withheld from the person's paycheck for that month for payment of state income tax, federal income tax, and the tax prescribed by the federal Insurance Contribution Act (26 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.); plus

(C) transportation expenses for that month; plus

(D) any mandatory expenses required by the employer as a condition of employment.

(h) An individual who, before September 1, 1983, has been admitted to a home or facility that provides residential care under this section is eligible for residential care in the home or facility.

(i) The director of the division may contract with the division of mental health and addiction or the division of disability, aging, and rehabilitative services to purchase services for individuals with a mental illness or a developmental disability by providing money to supplement the appropriation for community based residential care programs established under IC 12-22-2 or community based residential programs established under IC 12-11-1.1-1.

(j) A person with a mental illness may not be placed in a Christian Science facility listed and certified by the Commission for Accreditation of Christian Science Nursing Organizations/Facilities, Inc., unless the facility is licensed under IC 16-28.
