MAGI-BASED ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION PLAN SECTION D - Additional Verification Questions 9 MAGI-BASED ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION PLAN (Insert Medicaid, CHIP, or Both) Medicaid & CHIP State: Kansas Date Submitted: (mm/dd/yyyy) 04/10/2018 Section D. Additional Verification Questions Question Response 1 If paper documentation is required when a data source is not available or the information obtained from a data source is not reasonably compatible with the information provided by or on behalf of the individual, briefly describe how the state determined that establishing and using an electronic data source was not effective, considering such factors as cost and program integrity in accordance with 42 CFR 435.952(c): The primary challenge is locating a source with relevant information, specifically unearned income and timely earned income. In instances where a source is available, the accuracy of the information is a key consideration. Additional automation can be considered when the data is reliable and provides information at the level required for eligibility determination. Cost is also a factor, both the actual cost of obtaining the information as well as in terms of the actual cost to use the information (staff time to research, system changes, etc). Kansas has several KEES enhancements currently in design to improve the use of income-related interface inforamtion that are scheduled to be implemented in 2018. The State continues to explore the availability of additional interfaces.
