2006 Emergency Assistance Guide For Elder Americans
Older people are especially vulnerable during and after an emergency situation. The Administration on Aging is pleased to announce the 2006 Emergency Assistance Guide. Members of the National Aging Service Network, and others who provide services to older Americans, should study AoA’s Emergency Assistance Guide, share the Guide with others who work with the older Americans, and keep it available as a resource when needed. The Guide is located at aoa.gov/press/preparedness/preparedness.asp
Medicaid does not provide medical assistance for all poor persons.
Even under the broadest provisions of the Federal statute (except for emergency services for certain persons), the Medicaid program does not provide health care services, even for very poor persons, unless they are in one of the designated eligibility groups. Low income is only one test for Medicaid eligibility; assets and resources are also tested against established thresholds.
