12-Month Benefit Period The semi-annual contact report must be recorded, data collection updated and eligibility results certified in Bridges by the last day of the sixth month of the benefit period to affect benefits no later than the seventh month. The contact is met by receipt of a completed MDHHS-1046 and required verifications. Processing MDHHS-1046 The group’s gross earned income from their most current budget is pre-filled on the MDHHS-1046. If the client’s gross income has changed by more than $125 from the pre-filled amount on the form, they must return verification of past 30 days of earnings with completed MDHHS-1046. If the group indicates their gross earned income has not changed by more than $125, verification of the past 30 days is not required. However, income must be budgeted and eligibility run if the group checks “No” to the questions but supplies proof of income. Note: Run eligibility so Bridges will recognize the MDHHS-1046 has been processed. Medicaid only The MDHHS 2240-A may be used to complete an ex parte review of MA or certify a second 12-month MA period when the group has a 24-month FAP certification.
