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

MID- CERTIFICATION / SEMI-ANNUAL CONTACT FAP Only Bridges sends a MDHHS-2240-A, Mid-Certification Contact Notice, for groups assigned a 24-month benefit period during the 11th month of their benefit period and a MDHHS-1046, Semi-Annual Contact Report, the beginning of the fifth month for cases assigned a 12-month benefit period. Note: Manually send from Bridges and track the MDHHS-1046 if it is discovered that a case was not correctly assigned as a simplified reporter by the last day of the fourth month of the benefit period. Groups assigned a 24-month benefit period must submit a complete MDHHS-2240-A, Mid-Certification Contact Notice. A complete MDHHS-1046, Semi-Annual Contact Report, must be submitted by groups with countable earnings and a 12-month benefit period; see BAM 115, Benefit Periods. The MDHHS-1046 and MDHHS-2240A may be completed by the group, the group’s authorized filing representative or by the specialist (during a telephone call, home call or interview with the client). However, the form must be signed by the client or authorized filing representative. A report is considered complete when signed and all of the sections on the MDHHS-1046 or the MDHHS 2240-A are answered completely or the no changes box on the first page is selected and required verifications are returned by the group or group’s authorized representative. If an expense has changed and the group does not return proof of the expense, if required, but all of the sections on the report are answered completely, remove the expense in Bridges before certifying.. 24-Month Benefit Period The mid-certification contact notice must be recorded, data collec- tion updated and eligibility results certified in Bridges by the last day of the 12th month after a completed MDHHS-2240-A and all required verifications are received. Note: Run eligibility even if the group indicates no changes so Bridges will recognize the MDHHS-2240-A has been processed.
