Obsolete 1216 - 331-2 Changes That Can Affect DAC Protected Medicaid

Policy Effective May 1, 2006 - November 30, 2016

Contact DWS Program Specialist for previous policy

Check the client’s DAC protected Medicaid when these changes happen:

• If the client’s income, other than the Childhood Disability Benefit, increases, use the DAC income test to find out if the client is still income eligible for protected Medicaid.

• If SSA decides the client is no longer disabled and stops the Childhood Disability Benefit, decide the client’s eligibility for other Medicaid programs.

• If the client marries, check to see if the Childhood Disability benefit stopped. If it did, decide the client’s eligibility for other Medicaid programs.  If the Childhood Disability Benefit continues, the client retains DAC protected Medicaid.
