VA Protected Widows or Widowers

Members of this group are eligible for Medicaid as a "Protected" Covered Group.

Two groups of disabled widow(er)s who lost SSI eligibility because of receipt of -- or increase in -- Title II disabled widow(er)s' or Title II widow(er)'s benefits have their Medicaid categorically needy eligibility protected.

The first group consists of disabled widow(er)s who would be eligible for SSI except for the increase in disability benefits resulting from elimination of the reduction factor under P.L. 98-21 in January 1984.

The second group consists of disabled widow(er)s age 60 through 64 who would be eligible for SSI except for early receipt of Social Security benefits.
