Any individual aged 65 years or over, blind, or permanently disabled (i.e. unable to engage in substantial gainful activity), receiving a benefit through the Supplemental Security Income program, is automatically eligible for Medicaid in Delaware. Because Delaware covers all SSI beneficiaries, it is known as a "1634" state. Other states, commonly referred to as "209-b" states, have more restrictive criteria for eligibility than the SSI program.
