Financial eligibility for Medical Services is determined using the rules on income and resources according to the category to which the individual is related. (See Part 5, Subchapter 5 of this Chapter.) There is not a resource test for individuals categorically related to AFDC or pregnancy-related services.
- (1) When Medicaid is requested on behalf of any individual, eligibility is determined for that individual as well as all other individuals in the family unit who are categorically related. •1 In instances where individuals in a family unit are categorically related to different categories, the sequence for determining financial eligibility is as follows:
- (A) First, eligibility must be established for the individual categorically related to ABD (see OAC 317:35-5-7).
- (B) Second, financial eligibility is determined for family members who are categorically related to AFDC and/or pregnancy-related services.
- (2) Income, resources for individuals who are categorically related to ABD, and expenses are evaluated on a monthly basis for all individuals included in the Medicaid case.
