Citizenship Documentation Under the DRA:
Automatic Medicaid for SSI Recipients

The following states have an agreement with the Social Security Administration to automatically provide Medicaid for SSI recipients. Because Medicaid recipients in these states who also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits do not have to file Medicaid applications or renewals, and because the Social Security Administration already verifies the citizenship status of SSI applicants, these individuals are exempt from the documentation requirement for Medicaid.
