The resource limit for the Low Income Subsidy Program typically increases each January when Social Security announces their COLA increase.  This year, we did not receive the new resource limits for LIS until after the manual was posted.  The ADLTC manual has now been updated to reflect the correct resource limits.

Highlights of these revisions are described below.  If you have any questions please contact the Policy and Program Development Team at 465-3382 or e-mail dpapolicy@alaska.gov.
