I am married and will be the one on Medicaid.
.
Page 3 of the pamphlet that I have from Columbia Legal Services states :
a)"If you are on COPES, you will be allowed to keep a specified amount of income. If you have more than the allowable amount, DSHS will require you to use the rest for certain specified purposes (explained later in this section)." and,
b) "The rest of your income ... will be used as follows:....(3) an amount to pay health insurance premiums or co-payments (including co-payments required by the Medicare drug program);..."
Does that mean that my monthly SSDI income will not be reduced by the $394 cost of my monthly health insurance premium? If not, what does item b)3) above mean? Thanks.
