Temporary Social Security Income Closures

Temporary Social Security Income Closures A. Some cases that are Social Security Income (SSI)-eligible terminate once per quarter and are reinstated by SSI after one or two (2) months of ineligibility. B. The usual cause of the temporary SSI closure is earned income in a five (5) week month. C. The individual whose SSI is temporarily terminated can apply for Medicaid coverage during the missing SSI months by filing an application with the regional office, which, if approved, is valid for twelve (12) months. Redeterminations that are approved are also valid for a twelve (12) month period for temporary SSI closures.
