Other Linkage

EWs must continue to process the application if other potential eligibility exists (for example, MAGI MC, AFDC-MN or MI). Clients in these situations who have been denied SSA disability in the past 12 months and claim a worsening or change in their medical condition must be referred back to SSA, as there are greater income deductions under ABD-MN. If there is no other potential eligibility, deny the Medi-Cal application.

Presumptive Eligibility (PD)

Clients with medical conditions that meet the presumptive disability criteria must still be screened to determine if a DDSD referral should be completed. They are not exempt from the DDSD referral limitations. Clients with a Social Security disability or SSI denial within the past 12 months with a worsened or changed condition must be referred back to SSA.
