Summary
Michigan Medicaid updated resource eligibility rules for SSI-related programs regarding reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgage payments are now non-countable resources in the month received but become countable if retained in following months, with a $2000 resource limit still applying.
Action Required
No immediate billing action required. This policy affects Medicaid eligibility determination rather than billing procedures. Billing staff should be aware that some SSI-related Medicaid patients may newly qualify for coverage due to revised reverse mortgage asset counting rules.
