MANUAL HEALTHCARE REVISION # 15 : 0905.010.05, 0905.010.05.05, 0905.010.45.10, 0920.010.05, 0925.010.10, 0935.010.20, AND 0940.010.15 |
| DISCUSSION: |
| Due to the separation of Medical Assistance
for Families (MAF) and Temporary Assistance eligibility, we have revised
the above sections of the Family Healthcare Manual related to Social Security
numbers to reflect current policy. Individuals failing to complete
an application for a Social Security number or failing to provide an existing
Social Security number are not eligible for MC+ healthcare coverage.
Temporary Assistance policy considers their income but not their need.
Unlike Temporary Assistance policy, their needs and income are included
in the budget when determining eligibility for MC+ for the remaining
assistance group members. This policy applies to MAF, MC+ for Children,
MC+ for Pregnant Women, and Non Custodial Parent eligibility.
References to the Temporary Assistance Manual have been removed from the MC+ for Children, MC+ for Pregnant Women and Non-Custodial Parent sections. |
