Disabled enrollees by state
Medicaid is a public health insurance program that provides medical coverage to millions of Americans. Disabled individuals represent around ** percent of all Medicaid enrollees – children aged 18 years and under are the largest enrollment group. The state of California, which has the highest Medicaid expenditure, had slightly more than *disabled enrollees in 2014.
SSI beneficiaries will receive Medicaid
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) created the opportunity for states to expand Medicaid and cover more low-income adults aged 64 years and under. The ACA established a new methodology to determine income eligibility for Medicaid. However, some mandatory groups are exempt from these income-based rules, including those individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The SSI program provides financial assistance to disabled persons, and beneficiaries are automatically eligible for Medicaid.
