MHABD OAA, PTD, or AB eligibility is always based on eligibility factors in effect in December 1973. The participant is approved for the most appropriate coverage type.
These eligibility factors are explained in 1000.000.00 December 1973 Eligibility Requirements. If the participant is ineligible on any one of these factors, explore eligibility for Related Special Eligibility Groups.
