c. The MART will not consider the individual's age, education, or work experience at Step (2). d. Step (2) is a de minimis standard. In any case where an impairment (or multiple impairments considered in combination) has more than a minimal effect on the individual's ability to perform one (1) or more basic work activities, adjudication must continue beyond Step (2) in the sequential evaluation process. 3. Step Three (3) – At the third (3rd) step, the MART must also consider the medical severity of the person’s impairment(s). If the person has at least one (1) impairment that meets or equals one (1) of the listings in the SSI rules at 20 C.F.R. Part 404, Appendix 1 to Subpart P (2023) and meets the duration requirement, the MART determines the person to be disabled for Medicaid eligibility purposes. 4. Step Four (4) – The fourth (4th) step entails MART consideration of the required assessment of the person’s residual functional capacity and past relevant work. If the person continues to perform past relevant work, the MART will the find the person not disabled. 5. Step Five (5) – At the fifth (5th) and last step, the MART considers the assessment of the person’s residual functional capacity, age, education, and work experience to determine if the person is able to make an adjustment to other work. If a person is found to be able to make an adjustment to other work, the MART determines the person is not disabled. If the person is not able to make such an adjustment to other work, the MART will find the person to be disabled. 1.11.4 Referral to the MART A.

Are not currently an SSI or RSDI recipient and do not qualify for MAGI-based coverage due to Medicare eligibility or enrollment and/or are seeking retroactive eligibility; or
