Installment Payments

Official source

If a SNAP unit, using actual medical expenses instead of a Standard Medical Deduction, verifies installment payments, allow the current billing for installment payments when a payment plan for an allowable medical expense is established. Do not allow past due amounts.

Example 1: Ms. M verified that she is billed $300 per month because a payment plan was set up to pay for outpatient surgery that was not covered by insurance. Allow $300 per month as an actual medical expense.

Example 2: Mr. T verified a monthly billing of $250 for a payment plan for dental work. His most recent statement verified that he only paid $100. Add $100 per month to his other medical expenses. Allow the $185 Standard Medical Deduction if the total of all his expenses are less than $185. If expenses are greater than $185 allow actual medical expenses.
