Basic Considerations

To be eligible under the Pickle COA, the A/R must meet the following conditions:

The A/R previously and correctly received RSDI and SSI or MSS concurrently.

The A/R’s SSI or MSS was terminated after 4/77 for any reason.

The A/R is eligible for SSI or MSS if the RSDI COLAs received by the A/R and/or his/her spouse since the A/R last received SSI or MSS are disregarded.

The A/R meets all basic and financial eligibility criteria.

In couple situations, only one spouse needs to have received RSDI and SSI or MSS concurrently. However, each individual must have previously received SSI or MSS in order to establish eligibility under this COA. In order for one member of the couple to be exempt from the requirement of having received SSI and RSDI concurrently, the couple must have been married at the time of the loss of SSI eligibility.

Length of Stay (LOS) and Level of Care (LOC) are not requirements for this COA.

Individuals who receive an SSI and RSDI payment in the last month of the waiting period on initial entitlement to RSDI disability benefits are not considered to have received SSI and RSDI concurrently.
