5.10.2 Medicaid Applicants and Members Who Convert from Social Security Disability to Social Security Retirement An EBD Medicaid applicant or member whose SSDI or any other disability-related Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI or Title II) benefits stopped because he or she began receiving SSRE is considered to have met the disability requirement for all types of EBD Medicaid, including MAPP. A disability re-determination is not required. Refer to 5.2.2 DISABLED MEDICAID APPLICANTS AND MEMBERS WHO CONVERT FROM SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY TO SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT BENEFITS. For more information on MAPP, see SECTION. 26.1 INTRODUCTION.

Be physically present in Wisconsin. There is no minimum requirement for the length of time the person has been physically present in Wisconsin. Wisconsin residents who are temporarily out of state, (see SECTION 6.5 ABSENCE FROM WISCONSIN), including students going to school in another state, do not have to be physically present to apply. However, individuals who are not Wisconsin residents and intend to move to Wisconsin must be physically present in Wisconsin to apply. 2. Express intent to reside in Wisconsin (see SECTION 6.2 INTENT TO RESIDE). An individual can be considered a resident of Wisconsin if they are physically present in the State and have entered Wisconsin with a job commitment or seeking employment, regardless of whether they are employed at the time of application. Example 1 John, a student from Wisconsin who is attending college in Minnesota, can apply for Medicaid as a Wisconsin resident.

Example 2 Margie lives in Florida. She is planning to move to Wisconsin in the next few months. Margie is not considered a resident of Wisconsin until she is physically present in Wisconsin.

Example 3 This is George's first day in Wisconsin. He states that he intends to reside in Wisconsin. For Medicaid purposes, George is a Wisconsin resident. 6.1.2 Migrant Workers A person who meets the definition of a migrant worker (see SECTION 31.1 MIGRANT WORKERS) meets the residency requirement if they are currently present in Wisconsin. They do not have to "intend to reside" in Wisconsin. Certain migrant workers qualify for a simplified application procedure (see BadgerCare Plus Handbook, Chapter 12 Migrant Workers).
