Full text of South Carolina South Carolina Code of Laws § 44-6-35 — Medicaid waiver protections., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 44-6-35. Medicaid waiver protections.
In administering home- and community-based waiver programs, the department shall, to the extent possible, maintain the waiver status of an eligible family member of a member of the armed services who maintains his South Carolina state residence, regardless of where the service member is stationed. Consequently, a person on a waiver waiting list would return to the same place on the waiting list when the family returns to South Carolina. Furthermore, the eligible family member previously enrolled in a waiver program and who received active services would be reinstated into the waiver program once Medicaid eligibility is established, upon their return to South Carolina. It is not the intent of this section to authorize services provided outside the South Carolina Medicaid Service Area. These provisions are contingent upon the department receiving federal approval.
HISTORY: 2014 Act No. 289 (S.825), Pt III, SECTION 3, eff June 23, 2014.
