23 Miss. Code. R. 102-3.9 - Requirement for Forty (40) Qualifying Quarters
A. At the
end of the five (5) year disqualification period, an alien classified as
lawfully admitted for permanent residence (LPR) is potentially eligible for
full Medicaid benefits only if he has forty (40) qualifying quarters (QQs) of
earnings covered by Social Security or can be credited with forty (40) QQs
which satisfy the requirement.
B.
If forty (40) QQs cannot be credited, the LPR remains potentially eligible for
Emergency Medicaid only. Aliens who are subject to the mandatory five (5) year
disqualification period are not eligible for full Medicaid for the first five
(5) years, even if they can be credited with forty (40) qualifying quarters
prior to or during the five (5) year disqualification period.
C. The disqualification period must be
imposed before an assessment of eligibility based on the forty (40) quarter
requirement.
D. Aliens classified
as granted parole for at least one year, battered aliens and aliens granted
conditional entry are not required to have forty (40) QQ.
