A-2310 Disabled Adult Children (DAC)

Revision 11-4; Effective December 1, 2011

This applies to persons denied SSI after July 1, 1987, and who meet SSI eligibility criteria when qualifying RSDI disabled adult children's benefits are excluded from countable income ( OBRA 1986). These persons were denied SSI benefits because of an increase in or receipt of RSDI disabled children's benefits. These persons may continue to be eligible for Medicaid if they:

are at least 18;

become disabled before they are 22;

are denied SSI benefits because of entitlement to or an increase in RSDI disabled children's benefits received on or after July 1, 1987, and any subsequent increase; and

meet current SSI criteria, excluding the children's benefit specified above.
