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

Individuals must be able to select how many years to opt in to allowing MDHHS to access tax information to determine continuing eligibility, up to a maximum of 5 years. Individuals must also have the opportunity to opt out of allowing the use of tax information. Do not include individuals in the passive renewal process if this question is not answered on the application. Only information that has changed or is missing may be requested from the beneficiary. The beneficiary is not required to take any action, such as signing or returning a notice if there has been no change in their circumstances. If the information is not sufficient to renew eligibility, MDHHS must send a pre-populated renewal form to the beneficiary. Allow the beneficiary 30 calendar days to respond and return the renewal form. MDHHS must notify the beneficiary of their eligibility and the basis for the determination. EX-PARTE REVIEW Medicaid/Medical Assistance (MA) Only An ex parte review (see Glossary) is required before Medicaid clo- sures when there is an actual or anticipated change, unless the change would result in closure due to ineligibility for all Medicaid. When possible, an ex parte review should begin at least 90 calendar days before the anticipated change is expected to result in case closure. The review includes consideration of all MA categories; see BAM 115, Application Processing and BAM 220, Case Actions. Asset Verification Program MA Only Electronic asset detection will occur at the time of an individual's annual renewal and anytime an individual is added to healthcare coverage on an existing case. Asset detection may include the following sources at financial institutions: checking, savings, and investment accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), treasury notes, certificates of deposit
