People Eligible for SSI but not Receiving SSI - Iowa

Medicaid is available to people who would be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cash benefits but who are not receiving them. This usually occurs when a person has declined or chosen not to apply for SSI benefits.

Caseworkers do not grant eligibility under this coverage group for people who have applied for SSI before applying for Medicaid or within five working days after applying for Medicaid. They wait for the SSI determination, unless the person withdraws the SSI application. They establish if a person would be eligible for SSI cash benefits by determining if the person:

·           Is aged, blind, or disabled; and

·           Has assets that are less than the applicable SSI resource limits; and

·           Has countable income that is less than the applicable (individual or couple) SSI income limit.
