During a personal or telephone
interview with the SSI recipient, an SSA employee asks the
following questions: • Have you used any medical care or services
in the past 12 months that were paid for by Medicaid (or Medi-Cal,
etc.)? • Do you expect to receive any medical care or services in
the next 12 months that will be paid for by Medicaid (or Medi-Cal,
etc.)? • Without Medicaid (Medi-Cal, etc.), would you be unable to
pay your medical bills if you become ill or injured in the next 12
months? We use this information to determine if an SSI recipient
whose payments have stopped based on earnings, is entitled to
special SSI payments and, consequently, to Medicaid benefits under
section 1619 (b) of the Act. The respondents are SSI recipients for
whom SSA has stopped payments based on earnings.
