An intermediate care facility is a group home for mentally retarded or developmentally disabled individuals (ICF/MR or ICF/DD). The term “intermediate care facility” is one used by state mental health departments for group homes serving these residents.
Assisted living units are units in projects developed for elderly residents with project-based assistance that have been converted to assisted living units.
The local agency responsible for Medicaid provides funds directly to group home operators and assisted living providers for services.
Annual income at an ICF/MR, ICF/DD, or assisted living unit must include:
a. The SSI payment a tenant receives or the facility receives on behalf of the tenant; plus
b. All other income the tenant receives from sources other than SSI that are not excluded from income by HUD regulations (see Exhibit 5-1). Examples of other sources of income include wages, pensions, income from sheltered workshops, income from a trust, or other interest income.
c. The personal allowance of an individual residing in an ICF/MR or ICF/DD is not included in annual income. If the owner is unable to determine the actual amount of the personal allowance, use $30.
Annual income does not include the enhanced benefit portion of the SSI that is provided to pay for services. In some instances, a resident’s SSI income may be reduced between annual recertifications if the resident’s earnings exceed a specified amount. If this happens, the resident may request an interim recertification.
