1 Tex. Admin. Code § 358.505 - Application Process Overview
(a) The
Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) gives anyone the opportunity
to apply for a Medicaid-funded program for the elderly and people with
disabilities (MEPD), in accordance with
42 C.F.R.
435.906. A person can apply for MEPD by
submitting:
(1) an application for assistance
to HHSC; or
(2) an application for
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to the Social Security
Administration.
(b)
Under the application submittal process described in subsection (a)(1) of this
section, a person must follow the requirements in §
358.515 of this subchapter
(relating to Application Requirements) to obtain an eligibility determination
from HHSC.
(c) In accordance with
42 C.F.R.
435.120 and §
42
C.F.R. 435.909(b)(1), an
application for SSI as described in subsection (a)(2) of this section serves as
an application for MEPD. A person receiving or deemed to be receiving SSI
derives eligibility for MEPD from the person's SSI eligibility and does not
require an eligibility determination from HHSC.
