NEVADA DISABILITY RX - DO I QUALIFY

 
AGE: Applicant and spouse (if spouse is also applying) must be between 18 and 61 years of age at the date of application with a verifiable disability.

INCOME: Effective July 1, 2012: Total combined applicant and spouse income can be no more than $35,773 per year. Total income for a single person can be no more than $26,836 per year.

RESIDENCY: Applicants must have lived continuously in Nevada for at least one year (12 consecutive months) PRIOR to the date of application.

ELIGIBILITY FOR SSI/MEDICAID:  You cannot receive full Medicaid benefits (prescription benefits) and Disability Rx at the same time.

If you are eligible for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) in Nevada, you are also eligible for full Medicaid benefits. Individuals who qualify for Medicaid may receive:

• Full prescription benefits if the individual is not eligible for Medicare Part D; or

• Maximum federal help with Medicare Part D costs such as premiums, deductibles, co-payments, and coverage gap protection if the individual is eligible for Medicare Part D. (Note that maximum federal help still leaves minimal co-payments for Part D drugs. However, the State of Nevada will pay those co-payments for individuals who are eligible for full Medicaid.)
