The KDOL Monthly Income Amount that is displayed on the Reasonable Compatibility Test Detail page is pulled from either:
The most current quarter if available (currently that is 2nd Qtr 2017).
The previous quarter if the most current quarter in not available (currently that is 1st Qtr 2017).
KEES will not go back any further than this to look for income on KDOL. This means, for this example, that 4th Qtr 2016 wages would not be used by KEES for a determination of reasonable compatibility.
The KDHE Policy team has issued a Policy Directive that allows for TWO prior quarters to be used for a determination of reasonable compatibility. This will require the use of the Manual RC Tool as KEES will only use one prior quarter.
In situations where KEES fails to execute the Reasonable Compatibility test, an incident shall be reported to the KEES Help Desk. After researching the issue, the KEES Help Desk may instruct staff to complete the Manual RC Tool.
The Manual RC Tool has been updated, and is available on the KEES Repository under the Other Helpful Information section by the name: Reasonable Compatibility Tool. Pay special attention to the Instructions sheet of this tool. The new tool is attached and will be updated on the KEES Repository. The Subsystems Macro that is used by the KanCare Clearinghouse has been updated and will utilize the same quarters as KEES.
Reminder: The Reasonable Compatibility test is applicable to all MAGI programs in addition to Medically Needy, MediKan and MSP programs.
