IM-065 – Notification to Participants when MoHealthnet for Aged, Blind and Disabled (MHABD) Eligibility Review Forms (FA-402) are Received After the Ninety (90) Day Reconsideration Period

This memorandum introduces the letter staff mail to former MHABD participants who return a completed FA-402 more than ninety (90) days after their case closed for failure to complete an annual review.  This letter notifies former participants the Family Support Division (FSD) received their FA-402 more than ninety (90) days after their case closed, and they must reapply:

When the FA 402 is received:

• Within 30 days of the date the closing action was completed on the EU Action Log (EULOG) screen, cancel close the case.
• More than thirty (30) days but within ninety (90) days of the date the closing action was completed on the EU Action Log (EULOG) screen, use the FA 402 as an application form. The time of more than 30 days but within 90 days is called the reconsideration period.
• Ninety-one (91) or more days after the date the closing action was completed on the EU Action Log (EULOG) screen, mail a manually generated Letter for FA-402s Returned after 90 Days.

The FA-402 may be used as an application if received more than thirty (30) days after the MO HealthNet case closes but within ninety (90) days from the closing date; however, if it is received outside the 90 day reconsideration period, the Letter for FA-402’s Returned After 90 Days must be manually generated.  The letter instructs the household to reapply and provides the methods for reapplying.  This letter must be mailed to each household who returns the FA-402 ninety-one (91) or more days after the case has closed for failure to complete the annual review.

NECESSARY ACTION:

• Review this memorandum with appropriate staff
