LTSS Co-Pay Program

What if I am not eligible for Medicaid LTSS?

- Elders who do not qualify for Medicaid LTSS may be eligible for the Home and Communtiy Care Co-Pay Program, administered by the Division of Elderly Affairs within the Department of Human Services.

- The co-pay program pays a portion of the cost of personal care and adult day services. An individual must be unable to leave home without considerable assistance and must need help with personal care.

- The income limit is approximately $21,600 annually for an individual. There is no asset limit like there is in Medicaid Long Term Care.
