533 DISABLED CHILDREN AT HOME (TEFRA)
A disabled child who does not qualify for SSI cash assistance due to parental income or resources may be eligible for Medicaid based on the child's own income and resources. Children in this category are often called TEFRA kids (named after the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act, P.L. 97-248 that authorized this eligibility category). The LTC unit processes this specialized eligibility category.
