(N.D.A.C. Section 75-02-02.1-06)

 

An individual, who could establish eligibility under more than one category, such as between Non-ACA Medicaid categories and ACA Medicaid categories, may have eligibility determined under the category the individual selects.

 

Individuals eligible as QMBs and SLMBs are eligible as aged, blind or disabled for that coverage but may also establish eligibility under the ACA Medicaid categories as a caretaker/relative or pregnant woman.

 

SSI recipients must first be tested for eligibility under Non-ACA Medicaid and only if they fail Non-ACA Medicaid (such as excess assets) may they be tested under ACA Medicaid. This also applies to SSI recipients who are pregnant women.
