- MAGI REASSESSMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WHO APPLIED 10/01/13 THROUGH 12/31/13 AND WERE FOUND INELIGIBLE
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide instructions for re-assessing ineligible individuals who applied 10/01/13 through 12/31/13, for eligibility as of January 1, 2014 using Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) methodology. These applications have been forwarded in a red folder by FAMIS offices to the MAGI Processing Center in Union. A report listing cases with individuals rejected will be generated weekly beginning in January.
The Union Processing Center will reconcile this listing with the applications in the Red Folder and reassess their eligibility using MAGI methodology. If the Red Folder contains a MO HealthNet Single Streamlined Application (IM-1SSL), or an Application for MO HealthNet for Kids, Pregnant Women And Parents (IM1UA) and the Application Supplement (IM-1UA SUPP) there is sufficient information to determine eligibility in the Missouri Eligibility Determination and Enrollment System (MEDES).If those documents are not available, staff in the MAGI Processing Center will use information in FAMIS and generate a Request for Information (IM-31A) to obtain the needed information.
Use the verification and comments in FAMIS when sufficient information is available to make the MAGI determination. Obtain current verification for the following eligibility factors when:
- Income, earned or unearned ˗̶ Verification is more than 30 days old or FAMIS does not contain adequate recording.
- Education Information ˗̶ FAMIS does not contain adequate recording
- Citizenship/Identification, Immigration Status ˗̶ FAMIS does not contain adequate recording
- Special Health Care Needs ˗̶ FAMIS does not contain adequate recording.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
