COVID 19 Special AlertR

The North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) will be bringing you the lastest news for people with developmental disabilities to keep you informed during the coronavirus pandemic. To see more information, visit our COVID-19 Resource web page.

 Following is news from the North Carolina Office of Emergency Services:

If you have an Intellectual/ Cognitive Disability and Need to Go to the Hospital:

Anyone with a cognitive impairment should be allowed to have their caregiver with them either in the ambulance or in the hospital. Their caregiver is an extension of the individual with the impairment.

Wondering if/how the stimulus checks will affect Medicaid eligibility?

Documentation in the bill that was passed contains the following language: “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any refund (or advance payment with respect to a refundable credit) made to any individual under this title shall not be taken into account as income, and shall not be taken into account as resources for a period of 12 months from receipt, for purposes of determining the eligibility of such individual (or any other individual) for benefits or assistance (or the amount or extent of benefits or assistance) under any Federal program or under any State or local program financed in whole or in part with Federal funds.”
