Evaluate the case using State plan criteria if the individual is not disabled using
Federal criteria. See DI 21501.000 Title XVI - State Plans—Disability/ Blindness.
NOTE: Use the State plan in effect as of October 1972 under which the individual received
State aid in 1973. This applies even if the individual moved to another State.
Contact the regional office (RO) to determine if there are any subsequent interpretations
of the State plan applicable to the case you are adjudicating. (There have been a
number of court cases, both at the Federal and State levels, which have revised interpreted
State plans).
