No. However, disability income may exceed the standard in the person's State. In such a case, the person will have a spend-down to meet before qualifying for Medicaid.
If you are applying for Medicaid on the basis of disability and you are not already receiving Social Security disability (RSDI or SSI), you might want to hire an attorney who specializes in Social Security disability. (Medicaid follows the Social Security rules for disability.)
Social Security benefits (retirement and disability) count as income for Medicaid. However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not count as income for Medicaid.
Depending on the date of your Medicaid application, you should be able to get Medicaid as of the "onset date" of your disability, as determined by Social Security.
Presumptive disability is NOT considered when you apply for SSDI. This category of benefits only applies to Medicaid and SSI benefits. If you have one of the conditons that triggers presumptive disability review under those systems, I would advise trying to get Medicaid coverage ASAP while waiting for your SSDI determination.
The benefits of disabled children are is free medicaid and they also get other health care services like SCHIP (States Children's Health Insurance Program).
The amount of the monthly disability benefit is based on the individual's employment history. The longer the individual worked and the higher the wage/salary, the higher the benefit. Two years after disability is approved, Medicare goes into effect. Keep in mind that the actual disability determination dates the approval back to the start of the disability, so the time between approval and the start of Medicare coverage is often 0-18 months.
There is no upper limit to the amount of benefits one may receive from Medicaid.
The usual time limit to decide on a Medicaid application is 45 days (60 days for applications based on disability).
That info should not be required.
If your income exceeds the Medicaid standard in your State, you will have to "spend down" the excess to qualify for Medicaid.
