I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Office of Medicaid Management Administrative Directive (OMM/ADM) is to provide local Departments of Social Services (LDSS) with a comprehensive document that clarifies and defines the various types of immigration statuses. This ADM outlines the citizenship/immigration documentation requirements for individuals in the Medicaid program, and provides specific desk aids that identify the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) codes which are important to the eligibility worker when determining the appropriate Medicaid coverage to be provided. In addition, this directive also defines otherwise eligible immigrants who are “Permanently Residing in the United States Under Color of Law” (PRUCOL) and those immigrants who are in satisfactory immigration status.
