Exceptions to the Enumeration for Applicants

Exceptions to the Enumeration for Applicants Exceptions to the enumeration requirement are limited to the following: A. Non-qualified non-citizens applying for Emergency Medicaid services only do not have to provide a Social Security Number or provide proof of an application for a Social Security Number (SSN) as a condition of eligibility for emergency benefits. B. The requirement is postponed for deemed eligible infants until the first redetermination. C. The Social Security Administration (SSA) does not issue SSNs to deceased individuals. The enumeration requirement is applicable if the SSN was issued prior to death. D. The enumeration requirement may be waived for an applicant who, because of well- established religious objections, refuses to obtain a SSN. A statement written by the applicant including the applicant’s religious affiliation and reasons for objecting to the requirement must be obtained. The agency will review the statement for compliance with the requirements of 42 C.F.R. § 435.910 (h)(iii). E. Individuals not eligible to receive a SSN. F. An individual does not have a SSN and may only be issued one for a valid non-work reason. These are non-citizens in a lawful immigration status in the U.S. that do not have Department of Homeland Security work authorization.
