DISCUSSION:

Effective December 31, 2022, the GTBH program is discontinued. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) determined that the demonstration would not be renewed as Missouri voters approved to expand MO HealthNet to low-income adults across the state.

The GTBH Manual and all subsections are now obsolete. Policy sections referencing GTBH in the following Family Support Division (FSD) manuals have been revised:

Hearings Manual

MO HealthNet for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled (MHABD) Manual

Family MO HealthNet (MAGI) Manual

Presumptive Eligibility (PE) Programs Manual

 

NECESSARY ACTION:

  • Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
