管理式長期服務和支援 (Managed Long Term Services and Supports 簡稱 MLTSS) 簡要概述

Hardship Stay of Eviction: The Worst Named Law in Housing

新澤西州有許多醫療補助(Medicaid計劃或新澤西州家庭護理計劃,每個計劃都有不同的資格標準。以下是MLTSS 的簡要概述。請記住,規則很複雜,所以如果您認為自己符合資格,請聯絡中部澤西法律服務處(Central Jersey Legal Services 簡稱CJLS) 尋求協助。 CJLS 是一家為無法負擔聘請律師的人士提供代理服務和建議的律師事務所。如果您需要法律協助,請致電  609-695-6249聯絡我們的Mercer ( 莫塞) 郡辦事處,以篩選您的資格。

MLTSS 是醫療補助計劃,提供了低收入的個人療養院級的照護。它將涵蓋護理機構或輔助生活機構的長期護理,以及個人在家中的福利,包括私人護理、送上門的餐食和個人緊急應變系統。

需要長期照護的個人必須符合在臨床和財務上的資格,醫療補助才能支付他們的照護費用。要符合財務資格,需要進行「資源」或資產測試以及收入測試。對於資源,MLTSS 申請人必須擁有 2,000 美元或以下的資產,其中包括但不限於銀行帳戶、退休帳戶和人壽保險的現金價值。如果您在家中接受服務並且汽車用於您的利益,則您的住所和一輛汽車可以豁免計算在內。沒有現金價值的定期人壽保險不被視為資產。如果您搬到療養院,您的房子可能會被計算在內。對於已婚夫婦來說,屬於配偶任何一方的任何東西都會被計算為資源的資格審查,但有一些規則可以防止配偶貧窮。如果健康配偶(稱為社區配偶)居住在主要婚姻住所,則該住所可豁免計算在內。還有複雜的規則用於計算社區配偶可以保有的儲蓄金額,同時仍允許 MLTSS 申請人符合資格。

關於收入測試,尋求MLTSS的人的總收入(扣除任何扣除額之前的收入),包括社會安全保障金或退休金,必須低於 $2,829 美元 (2024 年)。社區配偶的收入不計算在內,他們可以保有全部收入。收入超過收入限額的個人如果建立合格收入信託 Qualified Income Trust (簡稱QIT) ,仍可能有資格享受 MLTSS。納入 QIT 的收入不計算入審核資格目的,但仍必須計算入個人的照護費用。 QIT 的規則很複雜,如果操作不當,MLTSS 資格將被拒絕,因此強烈建議尋求律師的指導。

MLTSS 資格中最複雜的部分是回溯期和轉移罰款。當個人申請MLTSS時,就像申請Medicaid一樣,他們必須提供 5 年的財務記錄。若在5年回溯期內有不當轉移資產的行為,將處以取消資格的處罰期。申請Medicaid時,機構工作人員將審查您過去五年的財務記錄,並要求存款來源和提款用途的證明。因此,如果您將來可能申請Medicaid,保留良好的財務記錄並以建立資金支出記錄的方式支付費用非常重要。

除了複雜的財務標準外,個人還必須符合臨床資格才有資格參加 MLTSS。社區選擇選項辦公室 (OCCO) 的任務是確定個人是否符合 MLTSS 的臨床資格。若申請人在申請時位於護理機構或輔助生活機構中,該機構將向 OCCO 提出護理評估請求。在家的個人有提出請求的額外負擔。
