Verification of U.S. Citizenship

Verification of citizenship/immigration is not a requirement for an individual who is not a recipient in the Medical Assistance AU, but who is included in the Medical Assistance budget group (BG) only.

Citizenship and identity must be verified at the following:

at initial application

when an individual is added to an AU

when the agency becomes aware of a discrepancy

at renewal if not previously verified

Citizenship status does not have to be verified for an individual to receive EMA.
