District Court of Appeal of Florida April 2, 2003, No. 3D02-1143 (Raperto v. Florida Department of Children & Families)

RAMIREZ, J.

Joselyn Raperto appeals a final order denying his application for Medicaid related benefits. Because the hearing officer improperly interpreted Florida Administrative Code Rule 65A-1.711, we reverse.

It is undisputed that Raperto is disabled and a recipient of Social Security Disability Insurance benefits and Supplemental Security Income disability benefits.
