(N.D.A.C. Section 75-02-02.1-06)
An individual who could establish eligibility under more than one category , such as between aged, blind, or disabled categories and family coverage categories, may have eligibility determined under the category the individual selects. An individual may establish eligibility under only one category except for QMBs and SLMBs. Individuals eligible as QMBs and SLMBs are eligible as aged, blind or disabled for that coverage but may also establish eligibility under the children and family category.
For Applications and Reviews Received on or After October 1, 2013 for benefits beginning January 1, 2014:
SSI recipients must first be tested for eligibility under non-MAGI methodologies and only if they fail non-MAGI methodologies (such as excess assets) may they be tested under one of the MAGI groups. This also applies to SSI recipients who also may be pregnant women. See also “Blindness and Disability” 510-05-35-100 and “Budgeting for Individuals claiming to be Disabled” 510-05-90-45-05 for information as how to treat non-SSI disabled individuals.
