Eligibility Policy - 7/15/2026
6122.01 Individual Reasonable Compatibility Test - KEES evaluates reasonable compatibility in the order specified below. Reported information is considered reasonably compatible when one of the following is applicable:
a) No earnings were reported and both data sources do not return any earned income, or
b) The amount of earnings reported by the consumer is greater than the amount received from at least one data source for the applicable time frame, or
c) The difference between the self-attested amount and one data source is no greater than 20% of the self-attested amount.
6122.02 Household Reasonable Compatibility Test – Both Below - After the completion of the individual test, each individual will have a reasonable compatibility test conducted against their entire IBU.
The Household RC Test determines if both the amount reported by the household members and the amount received from at least one data source are below Medicaid income limits for the applicant’s IBU. This is known as ‘Both Below’; BOTH self-attestation and income from the data source(s) are BELOW Medicaid. For this RC test, all income and data sources in an individual’s IBU are checked to determine if the applicable amounts are below the income limit for that person. When the applicant is determined to be Reasonably Compatibility due to Both Below, no income verification is required to complete their determination. They are eligible to receive Medicaid without asking the consumer to provide additional verification of income.
6122.03 Reasonable Compatibility at Review - As part of the review process, KEES will run a Reasonable Compatibility (RC) Batch which will be used to determine the medical review type for all individual recipients due for review.
Due to this, when a pre-populated review is being processed, an RC test might not be required. If the consumer has not reported any changes in income, and the income passed the Reasonable Compatibility Test that was executed by the Batch, it is not necessary to re-run the RC Test. The passing RC test executed by batch is used for the determination. If the RC test executed by batch did not pass, it should still be re-run by the worker at the time of processing, even if no income change has been reported as there may be new data present in KDOL or TALX for the comparison.
The RC test completed as part of the review is valid until the end of the third month following the month the test was executed. A new RC test is required for any review with an older RC test.
