Eligibility
Eligibility for DDD services
To be determined eligible for DDD services, an individual must:
Be a New Jersey resident
Be Medicaid eligible
Meet the functional criteria of having a developmental disability, and must document that s/he has a chronic physical and/or intellectual impairment that
ᴑ Manifested in the developmental years, before age 22;
ᴑ Is lifelong; and
ᴑ Substantially limits the individual in at least three of the following life activities: self-care; learning; mobility; communication; self-direction; economic self-sufficiency; and the ability to live independently
Medicaid Eligibility for DDD Services
To be “Medicaid eligible” means that an individual has applied for and been enrolled in Medicaid and continues to meet the income and financial resources criteria for Medicaid. Every New Jersey resident who qualifies for and receives federal SSI (Supplemental Security Income) automatically receives New Jersey Medicaid. Therefore, it is highly recommended and strongly encouraged that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities immediately apply for SSI when they turn 18.
To apply for SSI, contact the local Social Security office or call the Social Security Administration toll free at 1.800.772.1213 (TTY 1.800.325.0778). For help, contact DDD’s Medicaid Eligibility Help Desk: DDD.MediEligHelpdesk@dhs.nj.gov.
