Example 1:
Charles Carlson, an aged individual, was living alone in their own home until August
18, 1981 when Charles was rushed to the VA hospital for treatment. The VA hospital
is a public institution receiving Medicaid payments on Charles's behalf. Charles was
ineligible for September. Charles remained in the hospital until October 5.1981,
when Charles returned home. Charles had earned income of $150 in the September quarter
and unearned income of $600 resulting in countable income of $540 ($180 per month) for the quarter. The computation of the payment amount is:

Example 2:
Joan Johnson, a surviving spouse, had been receiving SSI payments of $124.70 a month
and title II benefit of $160 a month. On August 14, 1981 Joan died. Joan's total income
for the quarter was $320, resulting in countable income of $260. The computation for
the quarter is:

Since there is no eligible spouse, no interim assistance reimbursement nor any unresolved
overpayment in this case, there is no payment of the additional $53.14 (the difference
between the SSI payments received and due) for each of the months of July and August.
