2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 17b-598. Waiver for persons unable to maintain work effort for involuntary reasons.
Sec. 17b-598. Waiver for persons unable to maintain work effort for involuntary reasons. The Commissioner of Social Services shall seek a waiver from federal
law to permit a person participating in the program established under section 17b-597
to remain eligible for medical assistance under the Medicaid program in the event such
person is unable to maintain a work effort for involuntary reasons. No such person shall
be required to make another application to determine continued eligibility for medical
assistance under the Medicaid program. In order to remain eligible for such medical
assistance, such person shall (1) request that such assistance be continued for a period
not to exceed twelve months from the date of the involuntary loss of employment, and
(2) maintain a connection to the workforce as determined by the commissioner during
such period. At the end of the twelve-month period, such person shall meet the eligibility
criteria for the Medicaid program, except that the commissioner shall disregard any
assets specified in subdivisions (4) and (5) of subsection (b) of section 17b-597.
