Processing the AMN

Since AMN eligibility is determined for a time limited review period, the AMN case must be reviewed at the beginning of each new review period.

Complete a full eligibility determination with the A/R’s first application, including a signed application, other basic eligibility criteria and full verification as required for an initial application under any other ABD Medicaid COA.

For each successive review period on a case that has continued in an active or suspense status, complete a review of eligibility using the procedures in 2706 Medicaid Renewals . It is not necessary to complete another application unless the case has been closed for an entire month or more.

If a SMEU decision is used to verify disability at the point of an initial AMN application, the SMEU decision is verification of disability for all successive AMN applications unless SMEU requests a review of disability.
