A new presumptive eligibility (PE) program is scheduled to become available in January 2026. It will provide immediate access to some Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) benefits. This program will be initiated through a referral form using self-declaration of eligibility, followed by application verification.
The new presumptive eligibility program will allow an adult who meets eligibility criteria to receive a defined set of LTSS benefits and services during the PE period while their Long-Term Care Medicaid application is processed.
