At the time of the initial intake, information on the applicant's Medicaid and/or financial status will be obtained. OSDP staff handling the initial intake must determine if the applicant is currently on Medicaid and should check Envision to confirm the applicant's current status.
Applicant's who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are already eligible for Medicaid and will not need to have a Medicaid eligibility decision.
It is the OSDP Counselor's responsibility to assist the individual in applying for Medicaid benefits.
