115 1) Applicants who meet the criteria for any categorical Medical Assistance programs, but do not meet the federal and state criteria of citizenship and immigration status are only eligible to receive emergency medical services. b. Verification of citizenship and identity as outlined in the section 8.100.3.H under Citizenship and Identity Documentation Requirements. c. Earned income may be self-attested by an applicant or member and verified through an electronic data source through the IEVS, FDSH, or the TWN. Individuals who provide self-attestation of earned income may also provide a SSN for wage verification purposes. If the self-attested earned income cannot be verified electronically due to a missing SSN, the applicant must provide documentation of income. Verification of earned income must be provided in accordance to the requirements outlined in 8.100.4.B.1.c When discrepancies arise between self-attested income and electronic data source results, the applicant shall receive a reasonable opportunity to establish his/her financial eligibility through the test for reasonable compatibility, by providing a reasonable explanation of the discrepancy, or by providing paper documentation within the Reasonable Opportunity Period (ROP) of 30 calendar days. Income information obtained through an electronic data source shall be considered reasonably compatible with income information provided by or on behalf of an applicant in the following circumstances: i) If the amount attested by the applicant and the amount reported by an electronic data source are both below the applicable Medical Assistance program income standard, that income shall be determined reasonably compatible and the applicant shall be determined eligible.
