  • To begin the disability determination process, your caseworker will review your medical records and may request additional records from any of your doctors.

  • After gathering all of your records, your file will be sent to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Disability Determination Unit where they will review your file and make a decision about your disability status. There is currently not a specific timeframe provided for this process.

  • If your case is approved and you are deemed disabled, you maybe eligible for Medicaid.

  • If your case is deferred, it means ODJFS needs more information to make a decision.

  • If your case is denied, it means ODJFS has reviewed your records and finds you are not disabled. You are not eligible for Medicaid for people with disabilities.

  • If you are not satisfied with the decision of ODJFS, you do have State Hearing Rights and may appeal their decision.
