New eligibility rules for Medicaid home care

Beginning November 1, 2026, the state uses Social Security’s medical listing to decide intellectual disability for Medicaid home- and community-based services. If the person meets the SSA Listing, they count as having an intellectual disability for these services. People who do not meet that Listing do not qualify under this definition. The law also says a person whose only disability is mental illness, as defined in Section 43A-1-103, is not counted as having a developmental disability for these services. These changes expand access for some people and limit it for others.
