MEDICAID FOR NON-QUALIFIED NONCITIZENS (CATEGORICALLY NEEDY, MANDATORY) A non-qualified noncitizen, eligible for emergency Medicaid coverage, must meet the income requirements of any coverage group for which he is eligible, with the exception of the long-term care groups. See the income policy and procedures used to determine eligibility for the appropriate coverage group in this chapter. A non-qualified noncitizen who is a dependent child or the parent of a dependent child is income eligible if, after using all income policy, income is below the limit. Only the family member with the emergency medical need is eligible for Medicaid, even though it is necessary to determine the family's eligibility. A non-qualified noncitizen, who is aged, blind, or disabled, is income eligible if—after using all Supplemental Security Income (SSI)-Related Medicaid income policy, except for the spenddown provision in Section 4.14—income is below the maximum SSI payment for an individual or a couple, if applicable.
