As a condition of eligibility, a medicaid applicant or an eligible recipient must take all necessary steps to obtain any annuities, pensions, retirement, and disability benefits to which they are entitled, within 30 calendar days from the date HSD furnishes notice of the potential benefit, unless they can show good cause for not doing so.

B. Exceptions to general requirement/good cause: An individual may request a good cause waiver to this requirement by presenting ISD with corroborating evidence that:

(1) applying for other benefits is against the best interest of the individual, child or others, including physical or emotional harm to a child, parent or caregiver relative, adoption proceedings, and potential for emotional impairment; or

(2) exceptions applicable to institutional care medicaid, the SSI-related categories and the home and community based waivers are pursuant to Subsection B of 8.215.500.9 NMAC, Subsection B of 8.281.500.9 NMAC, and Subsection B of 8.290.500.9 NMAC.

An eligible recipient under the age of 18 years shall not lose his or her medicaid eligibility under this provision.
