Utah does not enroll SSI recipients automatically; people on SSI must file a separate Medicaid application with DWS (Utah is an SSI criteria state).

People who are aged, blind, or disabled can apply for Medicaid, and Long Term Care Medicaid uses a separate addendum. Waivers such as Community Supports count only the person's own income for minors.

For children: None (no TEFRA option). The Medically Complex Children's Waiver counts only the child's income, but it takes applications only during open enrollment periods.

If you work: Medicaid Work Incentive (MWI): lets working people with disabilities get Medicaid by paying a monthly premium based on income. Apply through DWS.

Steps

  1. Apply online, by mail, by fax, or at a DWS office.
  2. For long-term care or waiver Medicaid, also fill out the Long Term Care Addendum.
  3. Wait for DWS to contact you by mail or phone.
  4. Send the proofs DWS asks for, such as a birth certificate.
  5. Read your decision letter and keep it.

Have these ready

  • Social Security numbers
  • Birth certificate or citizenship proof
  • Proof of income
  • Bank and asset statements
  • Proof of disability
