Seniors and Disabled People

SENIORS AND DISABLED PEOPLE 

Are the medical expenses of seniors and disabled people considered in determining eligibility? Yes, there are special rules and deductions for seniors (60 years or older) and disabled people. 

There are special rules for households with a member 60 years and older or has a disability. The rules are complex, but they help more people qualify for the program. Due to the complexity of these special rules, we advise folks in this category to contact their county Social Services office for eligibility information, which is based on resources and assets.
