A person who is blind is eligible for which state-administered assistance program?

• A. Medicare
• B. Medicaid
• C. Supplemental Security Income
• D. Social Security Disability Insurance

Answer: (B)

Medicaid is designed to provide health coverage to people with limited income, including those who are blind or have disabilities. It’s run by states within federal guidelines, so eligibility and benefits can vary by state, but it remains the primary state-administered program that helps blind individuals access medical care. Medicare, SSDI, and SSI are federally run programs with different purposes—Medicare is health insurance mainly for age 65+ or certain disabled individuals; SSDI is disability insurance tied to work history; SSI provides needs-based cash assistance and is not the state-run health program. So for a blind person seeking state-administered health coverage, Medicaid is the fit.
