Regardless of whether such person has excess income pursuant to Sections 14005.12 and 14005.13, such person shall be eligible to receive health care benefits and services under this chapter if his or her income does not exceed the maximum income eligibility limits for benefits under Part A of Title XVI of the Social Security Act. Any such person whose income exceeds the maximum income eligibility limits for benefits under Part A of Title XVI of the Social Security Act shall be eligible under Sections 14005.4 and 14052 for health care benefits and services under this chapter, provided, that the income levels for maintenance in Section 14005.12 for such person shall be the maximum income eligibility limits for benefits under Part A of Title XVI of the Social Security Act and provided, that his or her nonexempt income in excess of that maximum is used to pay his or her share of costs. (b) For purposes of this section, “substantial gainful activity” means work activity considered to be substantial gainful activity under applicable federal regulations adopted pursuant to Section 1614 of Part A of Title XVI of the Social Security Act. (c) The determination of continued impairments and the need for health care benefits and services shall be supported by medical reports when requested. Such reports shall be provided at the expense of the department.
