The AABD Program was established to provide financial aid and medical assistance to persons in need who are age 65 and older, or who are age 64 and younger and blind or disabled according to the Retirement, Survivors, and Disabled Insurance (RSDI)/Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program definition of blindness or disability (see 469 NAC 2-007.02).
The State Disability Program was established to provide financial aid and medical assistance to persons who are blind or disabled and who meet the program definition of blindness or disability (see 469 NAC 2-007.02) but do not meet the durational requirements.
NMAP, also known as Medicaid, provides medical services to aged, blind, or disabled persons, who are otherwise eligible and who do not have sufficient income and resources to meet their medical needs.
The maintenance portion of the AABD and SD Programs is funded entirely by state money. The medical assistance portion of the AABD Program is funded by federal and state money. For SDP, the medical assistance portion is funded by state dollars.
