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

VERIFICATIONS DEADLINE FIP, SDA, CDC and MA Verifications are due the same date as the redetermination/review interview. When an interview is not required, verifications are due the date the packet is due. Bridges allows clients a full 10 calendar days from the date the veri- fication is requested (date of request is not counted) to provide all documents and information. If the tenth day falls on a weekend or holiday, the verification will not be due until the next business day. MAGI Medicaid beneficiaries have 30 calendar days to return the pre-populated renewal form. Bridges gives timely notice of the negative action if the time limit is not met. FAP Only Verifications must be provided by the end of the current benefit period or within 10 days after they are requested, whichever allows more time. If the tenth day falls on a weekend or holiday, the verification will not be due until the next business day. Note: The DHS-3503, Verification Checklist, should be sent after the redetermination interview for any missing verifications allowing 10 days for their return. Example: Client returns a complete MDHHS-1010 and program specific supplement on the last day of the benefit period and fails to provide verification of income. Request income verification allowing the client 10 days to return verification. If verifications are provided by the required deadline but too late for normal benefit issuance, benefits must be issued within five work- days. Note: If an expense has changed and the client does not return proof of the expense, but all of the sections on the report are answered completely, end-date the expense from the appropriate data collection screen(s) in Bridges before running EDBC.
