                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
               CHAPTER III--SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
 
PART 416--SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME FOR THE AGED, BLIND, AND DISABLED--Table of Contents
 
                         Subpart B--Eligibility
 
Sec. 416.260  General.

    The regulations in Secs. 416.260 through 416.269 describe the rules 
for determining eligibility for special SSI cash benefits and for 
special SSI eligibility status for an individual who works despite a 
disabling impairment. Under these rules an individual who works despite 
a disabling impairment may qualify for special SSI cash benefits and in 
most cases for Medicaid benefits when his or her gross earned income 
exceeds the applicable dollar amount which ordinarily represents SGA 
described in Sec. 416.974(b)(2). The calculation of this gross earned 
income amount, however, is not to be considered an actual SGA 
determination. Also, for purposes of determining eligibility or 
continuing eligibility for Medicaid benefits, a blind or disabled 
individual (no longer eligible for regular SSI benefits or for special 
SSI cash benefits) who, except for earnings, would otherwise be eligible 
for SSI cash benefits may be eligible for a special SSI eligibility 
status under which he or she is considered to be a blind or disabled 
individual receiving SSI benefits. We explain the rules for eligibility 
for special SSI cash benefits in Secs. 416.261 and 416.262. We explain 
the rules for the special SSI eligibility status in Secs. 416.264 
through 416.269.
