Each year Connecticut revises certain numbers that play an integral role in determining eligibility for Connecticut Medicaid benefits. These numbers represent

1. the personal allowance a Connecticut Medicaid beneficiary can keep;
2. the shelter hardship calculation;
3. the amount of penalizing transfers that create 1 month of ineligibility;
4. and the absolute minimum MMNA.

Everyone applying for or considering applying for Connecticut Medicaid benefits knows or will become very familiar with these terms and how they work to establish or deny eligibility. The current numbers that are in effect until July 1, 2009 are:

1. Personal Allowance: $65;
2. Shelter Hardship: $525;
3. 1 Month of Ineligibility for Every: $9,464;
4. Minimum MMNA: $1,750
