Start here

Review the DDD Medicaid requirement

Before you start

  • Medicaid number, eligibility notices, renewal records, income and resource information, SSI status, termination or denial reason, and DDD eligibility information.

Who to contact

DDD.MediEligHelpdesk@dhs.nj.gov for troubleshooting; the applicable County Social Service Agency owns the Medicaid application when that route applies.

Step by step

  1. Confirm whether Medicaid is active for the person.
  2. If denied or terminated, use the current DDD Medicaid Troubleshooting Form and attach the controlling notice.
  3. If income or resources are above SSI limits, follow DDD’s published County Social Service Agency route for Medicaid application.

Expected next

A Medicaid eligibility action, troubleshooting response, or written notice identifying the next required item.

Save this proof

Medicaid confirmation, troubleshooting form and delivery, notices, renewal receipts, worker contact, missing-items list, and final eligibility result.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the Medicaid owner and DDD Helpdesk to identify the controlling notice, missing item, case owner, and appeal route.
