Eligibiity for Children with Social Security Income (SSI)
This letter is part of our continuing effort to assure that children whose Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are
stopped continue to be eligible for Medicaid. It also serves as a follow up to my letter of May 29, 1998 regarding
identification of such disabled children because they do not meet the new definition of disability in the welfare reform
legislation.
