Individuals who request assistance under this category must meet the following: a. Meet all eligibility criteria except the citizenship requirements. Residency requirements must be met; and b. Be aged, blind, or disabled and would qualify for Medicaid as a state institutional case, or would be eligible for SSI, except for the fact they are ineligible non-citizens. In determining whether an applicant is eligible as a state institutional case, eligibility is determined the same as a state institutional case except for meeting the citizenship requirements. If the customer does not qualify as a state institutional case, the case manager must make a determination of whether the applicant would be eligible for SSI except for meeting the citizenship requirements. If the customer is or becomes pregnant, evaluate eligibility using the pregnant woman criteria rather than institutional or SSI criteria. The case can remain ongoing provided the individual continues to meet all the requirements of an emergency Medicaid case.
