Means - Tested Public Benefits
Programs Not Included: The following Federal and State programs are not included as means-tested benefits: emergency Medicaid; short-term,
non-cash emergency relief; services provided under the National School Lunch and Child Nutrition Acts; immunizations and testing and treatment
for communicable diseases; student assistance under the Higher Education Act and the Public Health Service Act; certain forms of foster-care or
adoption assistance under the Social Security Act; Head Start Programs; means-tested programs under the Elementary and Secondary Education

Federal Means-Tested Public Benefits. To date, Federal agencies administering benefit programs have determined that Federal means-tested public
benefits include Food Stamps, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and the State
Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
State Means-Tested Public Benefits. Each State will determine which, if any, of its public benefits are means-tested. If a State determines that it has
programs which meet this definition, it is encouraged to provide notice to the public on which programs are included. Check with the State public
assistance office to determine which, if any, State assistance programs have been determined to be State means-tested public benefits.
