The LIS program does not ask for or count the cash value of life insurance so verification of the CSV must be requested of all applicants. The LIS application does not ask for race/ethnicity, so this must be requested. This would not affect the person’s eligibility, however, if not provided. If the applicant’s first response to the first request for verification is timely but incomplete or causes the need for additional clarification, a second request must be sent to clarify. An application is not to be denied based on a partial response to the first verification request. If a response is not received at all by the first due date, a reminder must be sent.

Whenever an MSP-only recipient subsequently asks for full coverage Medicaid, another application is not required.

If the LIS/MSP applicant has full coverage Medicaid already open, an MSP decision can be made based on the information already in the Medicaid case, even if MSP was previously denied or discontinued. However, discrepant information must be resolved.
