(N.D.A.C. Section 75-02-02.1-18)
- Ineligible Aliens. Some aliens may be lawfully admitted for a temporary or specified period of time and are not eligible for Medicaid. They have the following types of documentation: Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record; Form I-185, Canadian Border Crossing Card; Form I-186, Mexican Border Crossing Card; Form SW-434, Mexican Border Visitor’s Permit; Form I-95A, Crewman’s Landing Permit. These aliens are not eligible for Medicaid because of the temporary nature of their admission status. Ineligible aliens are also not eligible for coverage of emergency services. The following categories of individuals are ineligible aliens:
- Foreign government representatives on official business and their families and servants;
- Visitors for business or pleasure, including exchange visitors;
- Aliens in travel status while traveling directly through the U.S.;
- Crewman on shore leave;
- Treaty traders and investors and their families;
- Foreign students;
- International organization representation and personnel and their families and servants;
- Temporary workers including agricultural contract workers; and
- Members of foreign press, radio, film, or other information media and their families.
- Illegal Aliens. Aliens who are not lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States are not eligible for Medicaid, except for emergency services. Ongoing eligibility does not exist.
- Individuals from the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, or Palau, are permanent non-immigrants. While considered non-qualified aliens, they are here permanently and therefore can be eligible for emergency services.
