Except as allowed under [§ 435.121](/cfr/42/435.121.md), the agency must provide Medicaid to aged, blind, and disabled individuals or couples who are receiving or are deemed to be receiving SSI. This includes individuals who are—

- (a) Receiving SSI pending a final determination of blindness or disability;
- (b) Receiving SSI under an agreement with the Social Security Administration to dispose of resources that exceed the SSI dollar limits on resources; or
- (c) Receiving benefits under section 1619(a) of the Act or in [section 1619(b)](/cfr/42/1619.md?p=b) status (blind individuals or those with disabling impairments whose income equals or exceeds a specific Supplemental Security Income limit). (Regulations at [20 CFR 416.260 through 416.269](/cfr/20/416.260..416.269.md) contain requirements governing determinations of eligibility under this provision.) For purposes of this [paragraph (c)](#c), this mandatory categorically needy group of individuals includes those qualified severely impaired individuals defined in [section 1905(q)](/cfr/42/1905.md?p=q) of the Act.
