In order to be eligible for PCS, applicants must be residents of the state of Nevada. They must be disabled or have a health issue that results in a need for assistance with ADLs, also known as Activities of Daily Living. These activities include mobility, toiletry, dressing, grooming, and eating. An in-home assessment must be done by a licensed occupational therapist or physical therapist to determine the level of functioning and needs of the applicant. In addition to the functional need, eligibility for Medicaid in Nevada also has financial criteria and these change based on the age of the applicant and the year of application. In 2020, a single applicant is permitted a monthly income not exceeding $783. The value of one's countable assets is limited to $2,000. However, a home is exempt should the owner’s equity be valued under $595,000. Married applicants, with both spouses applying, are permitted slightly higher income and assets. In 2020, a couple can have as much as $1,175 / month in income and $3,000 in assets.
