DISCUSSION:
MHN policy is updated with requirements for active participants moving from one program to another when a change in circumstance occurs, or upon request from the participant.
An active MHN participant does NOT require a new application to move from one program to another, as long as they remain in the same household. All actions should be completed ex parte (which means without contacting the participant), if possible.
Note: This policy does NOT change the existing policy for an active participant or applicant who is requesting a cash benefit. See 0804.025.00 MO HealthNet Application Concurrent With MHABD Cash Programs.
