Start here Minnesota Medical Assistance (MA) · Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), with county and Tribal Nation agencies

Apply online (opens in a new tab) · Yes, at your county human services agency or Tribal Nation office.

Minnesota is a 209(b) state, so SSI does not give you Medical Assistance automatically; you must apply through your county or Tribal Nation.

Disability-based MA is for people whose disability is certified by Social Security or the State Medical Review Team (SMRT). People over the income limit may qualify with a spenddown.

For children: MA-TEFRA: Medical Assistance for children with disabilities who live at home, even when parent income is too high for regular MA.

If you work: MA-EPD (Medical Assistance for Employed Persons with Disabilities): lets working people with certified disabilities keep MA at higher earnings, with a premium.

Steps

  1. Contact your county or Tribal Nation, or apply online at MNsure.org
  2. Tell the worker you have a disability so you are checked for disability-based MA
  3. If you do not have an SSA disability decision, ask about the State Medical Review Team (SMRT)
  4. Send proof the worker asks for
  5. Call Disability Hub MN at 1-866-333-2466 if you need help
