Individuals being determined eligible using the MAGI methodologies must meet the basic non-financial rules such as citizenship or alien status, state residency, duty of support when applicable, provision of a Social Security number, TPL, etc. (200).
Emergency medical assistance under a MAGI-based group is available to individuals who do not meet citizenship or alien status rules, but who meet the other criteria for a MAGI-based eligibility group.
MAGI rules use tax rules to determine a MAGI household, so relationship rules are not always the determining factor used to decide who to count in a MAGI household. Relationship rules are used for non-tax-filing MAGI households, and may be applied differently than they are for non-MAGI-based eligibility groups (229).
