O-900 Medically Needy Case Controls
MS Manual 01/01/14 All applications for Medically Needy will be registered in ANSWER. Dispositions of applications will also be noted, as well as the date of disposition. The DCO/OFO Web Reports (Mainframe Reports) will provide a monthly statistical application report to each County Office for reconciliation of pending and disposed applications on the register as well as overdue applications.
O-910 Time Schedule for Reevaluation of Eligibility for Exceptional Medically Needy Cases MS Manual 10/06/16 Reevaluation of Exceptional Medically Needy cases will be completed twelve months from the month of certification or the last completed reevaluation. To insure that reevaluations are completed by the end of the twelfth month, they will be scheduled for the eleventh month. For an AABD-EC reevaluation, the caseworker will mail a DCO-95 and the other forms required to the recipient specifying exactly what is needed (e.g., completed application, check stubs, collateral statement, etc.) and a date by which the forms and verification should be returned. The county offices and processing units will use the reevaluation lists that are on Share in the area folders to determine when a reevaluation is due for AABD-EC categories. The County Office is responsible for completing the reevaluation and making any necessary changes in ANSWER at the time the reevaluation is completed. At the time of reevaluation, the factors verified will vary according to the categorical relatedness of the case. Particular attention will be given to verification of items subject to frequent change such as income.
