Basic health eligibility and premium level are determined based in part on gross family income. Rules need to be evaluated and possibly revised to ensure that they support the intent of the program. Issues to be evaluated include the definition of income, with particular attention to whether clarification is needed regarding specific income sources, such as capital gains, the calculation of self-employment income, and the methodology to be used with one-time payments. Other issues regarding eligibility determinations may also be evaluated as they arise during this review. | No mandate, but authorized under RCW 70.47.050. | Department of social and health services. | |
