Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services Obsolete Medicaid Eligibility Handbook For the current MEH, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/meh-ebd/ For the current BC Plus Handbook, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/bcplus/ |
Obtain citizenship and identity documentation for a CEN at the next review of eligibility following the child’s birth, unless the requirement has already been met by the Department through an automated data matching process. See NB for additional CARES processing instructions.
Non-exempt children applying for or receiving Medicaid through the Katie Beckett program are subject to the new citizenship and identity documentation requirement. Katie Beckett Medicaid is determined by staff within the Department’s Division of Disability and Elder Services (DDES). The new requirement will be implemented by DDES staff for Katie Beckett Medicaid applicants and recipients.
NOTE: Individuals no longer receiving MA through foster care, adoption assistance or Katie Beckett, and who are applying for MA through the IM agency, are subject to the new requirement. If you are aware that the requirement has already been met, do not request verification of citizenship or identity. See Verification Code <OP> on the State Approved Verification Code list. If you are not aware that this requirement has been met, the individual must submit acceptable documentation.
Do not apply the new requirement for individuals who are applying for MA if they are receiving either Medicare or SSI. You can verify the receipt of either of these benefits by completing an online query (SOLQ) of DXSX for SSI and DXSA for Medicare. See Verification Code <SC> on the State Approved Verification List.
Non-exempt individuals applying for or receiving TB-Medicaid or Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid are subject to the new citizenship and identity documentation requirement. Obtain acceptable documentation at application or review and keep copies of acceptable documentation in the applicant’s or recipient’s case record. Because eligibility for TB-Medicaid and Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid is not determined by CARES, be sure that the documentation requirement is applied only once for applicants and recipients of these benefits.
