If the participant is determined ineligible based on pregnancy, disability, blindness, or change in income criteria, send an Adverse Action Notice (IM-80), specifying the reason eligibility for MO HealthNet does not exist. State the reason for the denial in the new category as well as the reason for loss of eligibility for current MO HealthNet benefits. The Adverse Action Notice provides appeal rights. Close the MO HealthNet active case once the Adverse Action Notice expires and send an IM-33C Action Notice.
