persons described in item 2(a) of Section 5-2, who fail to 
qualify for basic maintenance under Article III of this Code 
on the basis of need because of excess income or assets, or 
both, may establish eligibility for medical assistance by

Article (as described in 42 CFR 435.831) to the Department of 
Healthcare and Family Services or its successor agency or by

by the Department as evidence of payment of the person's 
monthly spend-down amount before becoming ineligible for 
medical assistance under this Section.
