The Pickle Amendment protects Medicaid eligibility for a person who:

Currently receives RSDI, and

Was eligible for and received SSI, then, lost SSI eligibility for any reason after April 1977, and

Was eligible for SSI and RSDI in at least one concurrent month, and

Would have countable income less than the SSI payment level if you deducted from current RSDI benefits, the RSDI COLA’s paid after the last month the person was eligible for and received SSI and was also eligible for RSDI. Deduct COLA’s from the RSDI of the person and the RSDI of the person’s spouse or financially responsible parents, and

Meets the other Medicaid eligibility requirements now.
