(a) The State statute provides that any person shall be ineligible for PAAD if he/she is otherwise qualified for assistance under the Act of which the PAAD Act is a supplement (Chapter 413, Laws of 1968).

(c) A PAAD applicant shall supply the PAAD Program with sufficient information for PAAD to apply for Medicare Part D coverage on behalf of the applicant.

(d) The applicant, having provided all the necessary information to the PAAD Program, shall be enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan, except in the following cases:

1. The applicant is in an employer prescription drug plan, where the employer accepts a subsidy from Medicare for continued coverage of the employee/retiree; or

2. The applicant is not eligible under Medicare Part D.
