SSI-related medical—How to count a sponsor's resources.

(1) The agency counts part of a sponsor's resources as available to an applicant or recipient of Washington apple health (WAH) SSI-related health care coverage if:
(a) The person is a sponsored immigrant as defined in WAC 182-512-0785; and
(b) The person is not exempt from deeming under WAC 182-512-0790.
(2) The agency determines the amount of the sponsor's resources to count by:
(a) Totaling the countable resources of the sponsor and the sponsor's spouse (if the spouse signed the affidavit of support);
(b) Subtracting fifteen hundred dollars; and
(c) Counting the remaining amount as a resource that is available to the person.
(3) When a sponsor has sponsored other people as well, the agency divides the result by the total number of people sponsored.
(4) A sponsor's resources are counted when determining eligibility for WAH coverage until the person becomes exempt from deeming under WAC 182-512-0790.
