SI BOS01730.048 Medicaid Trusts

A. Policy

When an individual residing in a section 1634 State has a Medicaid trust, SSA determines if the trust is countable for SSI purposes. The existence of a Medicaid trust results in a referral to the Medicaid State agency for a Medicaid eligibility decision. See SI 01730.048 for the definition of Medicaid trusts and procedures to determine if a trust is countable for SSI purposes.

In the Boston Region, the section 1634 States are Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
