ACWDL 09-56: Increase in SGA from $980 per month to $1000 per month effective January 1, 2010, for non-blind individuals (11/24/09)

The federal SGA amount will increase to $1000 effective January 1, 2010. Counties will retroactively redetermine Medi-Cal eligibility based on disability if a case has been denied erroneously due to a delay in implementing the new SGA amount. SGA rules do not apply to blind individuals, Medi-Cal beneficiaries who return to work after disability has been approved, or to applicants of the Medi-Cal 250% Working Disabled Program. [Download]
