SUBJECT: INTRODUCING THE NON-MAGI APPLICATION LETTER
FORM REVISION #
IM-2NMA
DISCUSSION:
A new letter, Non-MAGI Application Letter (IM-2NMA) was created to help Family Support Division (FSD) staff.
The IM-2NMA will be mailed with an Aged, Blind, and Disabled Supplement (IM-1ABDS) and/or a Medical Review Team Packet (IM-61MRT). These forms will be mailed to participants who completed a MO HealthNet application and were approved for a MAGI program – Adult Expansion Group or any of the Family MO HealthNet programs, but indicated that they are disabled or blind.
The letter informs the participant that since they indicated that they are disabled or blind on the application and may be eligible for Non-MAGI programs including:
- MO HealthNet for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled Non-Spend Down
- MO HealthNet for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled Spend Down
- Ticket to Work Health Assurance
- Nursing Facility (Vendor) Coverage
FSD will explore coverage for these programs, but additional information is needed. If the participant wishes to explore Non-MAGI benefits, then the enclosed IM-1ABDS and/or IM-61MRT must be completed and returned.
If the participant does not want FSD to explore Non-MAGI programs, no action is needed and any benefits already approved will not be affected.
The IM-2NMA is available for FSD staff to access in the internal forms manual.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
- Updated processes will be provided to staff in a separate email memorandum.
