Dear MPE Provider:
Effective February 16, 2017, the Healthy Start/MPE Income
Standard amounts are increased due to 2017 Federal Poverty Level
statistics. Please use these revised
income guidelines when determining eligibility for MPE.
For providers who are completing MPE applications in the
ABE system, these guidelines have been updated and are automatically applied in
calculating the applicant’s financial eligibility for MPE coverage.
Sincerely,
Lynne A. Thomas, Chief
Bureau of All Kids
