There is a family member who is disabled; how do I know if they could possibly qualify for MAABD?

The MAABD applicant should fit into one of the following categories:

• Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients;
• Employed individuals, ages 16 through 64 with disabilities with a combined net earned and unearned income up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Line;
• Nursing facility residents with gross monthly income up to 300% of the SSI payment level (state institutional cases);
• Certain individuals who have lost SSI eligibility but would still be eligible if some of their income were disregarded (Public Law Cases)
• Disabled child(ren) who require medical facility care, but can be appropriately cared for at home;
• Aged or physically disabled people who require medical facility care, but can be appropriately cared for at home and aged individuals who have been residing in nursing facilities who can appropriately be cared for in adult group care facilities (Home and Community-Based Waivers); or
• Ineligible aliens or non-citizens who do not meet citizenship eligibility criteria and have emergency medical services may qualify for some limited Medicaid coverage.
