BRIDGES ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES

LIMITS ON EXPEDITED SERVICE There is no limit to the number of times a group can be approved under expedited procedures. However, prior to the next expedited approval, the CDC group must do one of the following: • Complete the verification requirements that were postponed at the last expedited approval (regardless of the amount of time that has expired). • Be processed under normal application processing standards. DENIAL OF EXPEDITED SERVICE Verbally notify the client of the denial if expedited service was regis- tered. Process applications denied for expedited service according to normal application processing standards described in BAM 115. When the client is denied expedited service but appears eligible for CDC benefits, Bridges will do both of the following: • Automatically change the application to a regular CDC application using the original application date once you’ve entered the client’s information on the expedited screening page in the Program Request logical unit of work. • Set the due date to 30 days from the original application date. Advise clients denied expedited service that they can request a supervisory conference and/or a hearing if they disagree with the decision; see BAM 600. Do not hold the application pending the result of a hearing. If the client requests a conference, it must be held within two working days of the request unless the client requests that it be scheduled later.
