Notice of Privacy Practices
Each adult AU/BG member and, if applicable, each PR must be provided with a Notice of Privacy Practices upon receipt of an application for assistance, or when he/she is added to an existing AU/BG. This includes instances in which an A/R is currently receiving benefits in another program, such as food stamps, and applies for Medicaid. The notice must be mailed to each adult who is not present for a face-to-face interview. It is preferable, but not required, that each adult sign and return his/her notice, however the case record must be documented that the notice(s) was sent.
