Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) gives anyone the opportunity to apply for a Medicaid-funded program for the elderly and people with disabilities (MEPD), in accordance with RSA 435.906. A person can apply for MEPD by submitting:

(1) an application for assistance to HHSC; or

(2) an application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to the Social Security Administration.

(b) Under the application submittal process described in subsection (a)(1) of this section, a person must follow the requirements in § RSA 358.515 of this subchapter (relating to Application Requirements) to obtain an eligibility determination from HHSC.

(c) In accordance with RSA 435.120 and § RSA 435.909(b)(1), an application for SSI as described in subsection (a)(2) of this section serves as an application for MEPD. A person receiving or deemed to be receiving SSI derives eligibility for MEPD from the person's SSI eligibility and does not require an eligibility determination from HHSC.
