Policy History for 2.1.2 Choice of Application

Release 07-02

2.1.2 Choice of Application

Inform the client that the following three application and review options are available for any client who is applying for MA only:

 

  1. Face-to-Face Interview.

  2. Mail-In.

  3. Telephone Interview.
     

If the client chooses the mail-in or telephone method of application, inform him/her that this effectively eliminates a choice of W-2, Child Care ( CC ), Caretaker Supplement ( CTS ) , and Food Stamps ( FS ) eligibility for them as part of this application.  Complete Client Registration at the time of the initial contact with the client.

 

When an individual chooses the MA only telephone or mail-in application method, a written and signed form stating they are ‘not requesting’ FS, CC, CTS, or W-2 is not required, as long as the client is completing a telephone application or using the Medicaid Elderly, Blind, Disabled Application ( HCF 10101 ) or the Wisconsin Medicaid/BadgerCare Family Application form ( HCF 10100 ).

 

Once a client has chosen a method of application, do not require the client to use that method for any subsequent reviews.  The client may choose any of the three methods listed above at each review of eligibility.
