Note: Income and asset limits on this chart are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. There’s also a $20 income disregard (factored into the income limits above) that the Social Security Administration automatically subtracts from your monthly unearned income. *Income limits are based on the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), which changes every year in February or March. Limits are higher for each additional relative living with you for whom you are responsible. **Asset limits include $1,500 per person for burial expenses. ***You pay no premium if you have Full Extra Help and a basic Part D drug plan with a premium at or below the Extra Help premium limit for your area. |
