The filing date is the day a signed valid application/registration form (F-10101 or F-10182) or registration (F-10129) form is received by the IM agency or the next business day if it is received after the agency's regularly scheduled business hours.

2.6.2 By Phone

When a request for assistance is made by phone, the filing date is set when a telephonic signature, or signed application/registration form is received by the agency.

 

2.6.3 By ACCESS

 

The filing date on an ACCESS application is the date the application is electronically submitted or the next business day if submitted after the agency's regularly scheduled business hours.

2.6.4 Low Income Subsidy Program of Medicare Savings Programs

LIS data sent electronically to CARES from the SSA is considered a request for MSP and must be processed using the same processing guidelines that would be followed if a request for MSP was submitted directly by the applicant .

 

Because the data sent by SSA is not sufficient to determine Medicaid or MSP eligibility, the data from the LIS application will be used to establish a Request for Assistance (RFA) in CARES. The contact date on the RFA is the date the LIS data was received by DHS from SSA. The filing date for the MSP request is the filing date for LIS application set by SSA.

 

A completed, timely application will have to be submitted by the applicant to the local agency in order to determine Medicaid and MSP eligibility for the person. If an application is not submitted within 30 days of the RFA contact date, the RFA will be automatically withdrawn and a notice generated.

2.6.5 Federally-Facilitated Marketplace

The filing date for applications received from the FFM is the date the application was submitted to the FFM.
