According to chicagosports.chicagotribune.com, former NFL Head of Officials Jerry Markbreit answered a similar question with: "To become an eligible pass receiver and have the ability to go legally in motion, a T-formation quarterback must assume the position of a backfield player as in a Shotgun, Single Wing, or Double Wing Formation and be at least one yard behind the line of scrimmage at the snap. If the quarterback goes in motion from the T, he will be penalized for illegal motion and he will also not be eligible to catch a forward pass." In other words, if the quarterback takes the snap standing directly behind the center, he is not eligible to receive a pass. If the quarterback takes the snap in the shotgun formation or is at least one yard behind the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped, he is eligible to be a pass receiver.
