§ 108A‑54.4.  Income disregard for federal cost‑of‑living adjustments.

An increase in a Medical Assistance Program recipient's income due solely to a cost‑of‑living adjustment to federal Social Security and Railroad Retirement payments shall be disregarded when determining income eligibility for the Medical Assistance Program.
