Special Considerations

If the A/R was terminated from SSI for any reason other than disability, the A/R is NOT eligible for Medicaid under this COA. Complete a CMD. Refer for TANF or Family Medicaid if appropriate. Only request a SMEU decision for another ABD COA if the SSI has been terminated for more than 12 months.

If an A/R is approved for but later becomes ineligible for Medicaid under the Former SSI-Disabled child COA for any reason other than disability, the child’s disability status remains protected. The child can become eligible again under this COA.

There is not an aid category for this COA in GAMMIS.
