Good to know
- Nevada lists its income limits after the first $20 of monthly income is set aside, so $1,330 for QMB lines up with the federal $1,350.
- Savings limits: uses the federal limits as far as we can tell. Nevada's manual still shows the 2024 federal figures ($9,430 for one person, $14,130 for a couple).
