| SUBJECT: |
| MC+ OUTREACH TO FOOD STAMP AND CHILD CARE HOUSEHOLDS |
| DISCUSSION: |
| In July, State office will mail an MC+
application to households with children in the home who do not receive
MC+, but who are currently receiving Food Stamps or Child Care. The
mailing will include a cover letter with the income guidelines for the
MC+ program. The application is in the form of a self-mailer which
contains instructions to send the completed application to the MC+ phone
center serving their area.
Effective immediately, begin sending "MC+ for Kids Cards" with notification letters for Food Stamp and Child Care when there are children in the household not receiving MC+. This procedure is to inform our customers that healthcare coverage may be available to their children. "MC+ for Kids Cards" can be ordered through the warehouse. |
