Developmental Disabilities Services - Expedited Eligibility Determinations for Recently Relocated Individuals (Ralph's Act)

Summary

The law requires the Maryland Department of Health to fast‑track Medicaid eligibility determinations for people who received developmental disability services in another state and move to Maryland because a caretaker died or became incapacitated. The department must decide eligibility within 30 days and can start the review before the person becomes a resident, ensuring continued access to needed services.
