Adults between the ages the ages of nineteen (19) and sixty-four (64) who are blind or disabled and elders age sixty-five (65) and older who meet the financial and clinical eligibility for Medicaid- funded coverage established pursuant Part 40-05-1 of this Title; b.

Individuals eligible for Medicaid-funded health coverage on the basis of their participation in another publicly funded program including children and young adults receiving services authorized by the Department of Children, Youth and Families and persons of any age who are eligible on the basis of receipt of SSI benefits. d. Medically needy individuals who meet all the eligibility criteria for coverage except for excess income. Individuals in this coverage group achieve eligibility by applying a flexible test of income which applies excess income to certain allowable medical expenses thereby enabling the individual to “spend down” to within a medically needy income limit (MNIL) established by the Medicaid agency. e. Low-income elders and persons with disabilities who qualify for the Medicare Premium Payment Program (MPP) authorized by the Title XIX. Medicaid pays the Medicare Part A and/or Part B premiums for MPP beneficiaries.
