If a recipient needs services from the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), that recipient must qualify for Medicaid. The changes enacted have affected many DDD recipients.
Any new DDD application is required to meet the functional criteria and have Medicaid eligibility before they can begin receiving any services. If a person already receives DDD benefits but has not secured Medicaid, that individual must become Medicaid eligible to ensure continuation of current services and prior to receiving any new service.
