To qualify for ABD Medicaid, Lucas County applicants must be: • Age 65 or older, or • Considered legally blind, or • An individual with a disability (as classified by the Social Security Administration). Also, must meet basic eligibility requirements of: • Be a United States citizen or meet Medicaid citizenship requirements. • Have or get a Social Security number. • Be an Lucas County resident. • Meet financial requirements. Even if you are not sure that you or your family will qualify for coverage, you should still apply. • Be at or below the resource limits of: $2000 for a single person or $3000 for a couple. The county will determine which resources are counted or exempted from the resource test. (NOTE: Income eligibility is determined by comparing the Medicaid household's monthly gross income to the Medicaid Income Standards Sheet) (Anyone who already receives any dollar amount of SSI will automatically qualify for Medicaid without filing a separate application or meeting an asset test.)

Agency can look up most supporting documents through an electronic records search - the client will be notified if we require extra supporting documents to determine eligibility for the program. If necessary, one or more of the following may be requested: Valid Social Security Number (SSN), Ohio Residency if in question, Proof of U.S Citizenship or qualified non-citizenship status, proof of income, proof of Primary Insurance, proof of any student loan interest payments being made (allowable deduction from income). Applicants who are U.S. citizens will have to show proof of citizenship. Primary documents for this purpose are a valid or unexpired passport, certificate of naturalization, or certificate of US citizenship those who do not have one of these will need TWO documents: a certified birth certificate, hospital birth record, or religious birth record made within 3 months of birth, PLUS an identity document, which in most cases is a government issued ID such as state ID or driver's license. They may also need documentation of name change if applicable. If client cannot provide the necessary documents, agency worker will assist the client, upon request. Services will NOT be denied or terminated because of this requirement, as long as client makes an effort to comply.
