Exceptions to Obtaining Disability Approvals

Exceptions to Obtaining Disability Approvals A. There may be instances when Disability Determination Services (DDS) has already determined disability using Supplemental Security Income criteria for the same period of time to be covered by a Medicaid application. If so, a separate Medicaid determination is not needed. B. If the disability onset date, as established by the Social Security Administration, does not include all months of requested Medicaid eligibility, a separate DDS decision is required. Source Miss. Code Ann. § 43-13-121.
