the spouse in the community does not have income or resources up to the limits
established by the state, the law permits the institutionalized spouse to transfer to the
community spouse sufficient income and resources to assure protection up to the
established limits.
The intention of this portion of the law is to permit the spouse remaining in the
community to retain a higher level of income and resources than is now permitted.
Therefore, the community spouse does not have to live below the poverty level.
These requirements are effective September 30, 1989,

11. DISCLOSURES REQUIRING SIGNATURES
A. MEDICARE CATASTROPHIC COVERAGE ACT
Section 303(a) of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988 (MCCA), known
as the Spousal Impoverishment Provisions, provides for the protection of a couple's
income and resources within specified limits in the event one of them needs nursing
facility care. FACILITY may direct RESIDENT or RESIDENT'S spouse to the
appropriate agency for an assessment of RESIDEN'T'S total income and resources. If
the spouse in the community does not have income or resources up to the limits
established by the state, the law permits the institutionalized spouse to transfer to the
community spouse sufficient income and resources to assure protection up to the
established limits.
The intention of this portion of the law is to permit the spouse remaining in the
community to retain a higher level of income and resources than is now permitted.
Therefore, the community spouse does not have to live below the poverty level.
These requirements are effective September 30, 1989.
