Medicaid Allowances Increased
July 1, 2024
A quick reminder that at-need outside Medicaid allowances increase by $100 for funeral and cemetery effective July 1.
This means the amount of outside contributions a provider (funeral home or cemetery) can accept will be $2600 for funeral and $1100 for cemetery. This is in addition to Medicaid's $1200 subsidy for funeral services and $800 for burial/cemetery services if the recipient was approved to receive.
| Date | Medicaid Subsidy | Funeral Resource Contribution | Burial Resource Contribution |
| 7/1/24 | $1,200/$800 | $2,600 | $1,100 |
| 7/1/25 | $1,200/$800 | $2,700 | $1,200 |
| 7/1/26 | $1,200/$800 | $2,800 | $1,300 |
