KSHN REPORTED OVER THE WEEKEND THAT LIBERTY COUNTY HOSPITAL DISTRICT BOARD MEMBERS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY LAST MONDAY TO LOWER THE INCOME GUIDELINES FOR THOSE COMING INTO THE PROGRAM FROM 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES DOWN TO 100%. BOARD PRESIDENT BRUCE STRATTON SAID HALF OF THOSE WHO NOW FACE THE POTENTIAL OF BEING DROPPED FROM THE PROGRAM UPON RENEWAL ARE THOSE WHO WORK BUT HAVE LOW INCOMES. FOR THOSE PRESENTLY ON THE PROGRAM, AND MAKING BETWEEN 100 % AND 150 % OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, BOARD MEMBERS SAID THERE ARE NO CHANGES UNTIL IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO RENEW. THOSE BEING HELPED BY THE DISTRICT MUST RENEW THEIR ELIGIBILITY EVERY SIX MONTHS. AT THAT TIME, IF THEIR INCOME IS GREATER THAN 100 % OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, THEY WILL BE DROPPED FROM THE PROGRAM. BRUCE STRATTON SAID THE DECLINE IN VALUE OF OIL, GAS AND MINERALS HAS CAUSED A BIG DROP IN TAXABLE INCOME FOR THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT, RESULTING IN THESE CHANGES TO THE QUALIFICATION GUIDELINES. SO FAR, THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT IS OFF $400,000 FROM LAST YEAR’S INCOME. KSHN ALSO REPORTED THE DAYTON FFA PARADE IS COMING THIS SATURDAY.
