533 DISABLED CHILDREN AT HOME (TEFRA)

A disabled child who does not qualify for SSI Supplemental Security Income cash assistance due to parental income or resources may be eligible for Medicaid based on the child's own income and resources. Children in this category are often called TEFRA Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act, P.L. 97-248 kids (named after the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act, P.L. 97-248 that authorized this eligibility category). The LTC Long Term Care unit processes this specialized eligibility category.
