This paper presents findings from a study that analyzed community conversion to Medicaid among elderly participants enrolled in the Connecticut Community Care program, a statewide case management agency. Using a multivariate hazard model, the authors examine prospectively how characteristics of noninstitutionalized, disabled, elderly persons affected their risk of becoming Medicaid-eligible in the community. They also examined the timing of that eligibility. The study concludes with a discussion of the policy and research implications of this analysis.
