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

Bridges will automatically end an authorization when the: • Address is changed. • Case is closed. • End date is reached. End an authorization when a client remains eligible for SDA, but is no longer eligible for the provider payment paid by the department. Clients with Budgeable Income Enter the client income in Bridges and Bridges will deduct the cli- ent's net countable income from the provider payment. Bridges determines if the per diem provider payment exceeds the client pay for that period before authorizing payment. Bridges will not authorize provider payment if it is less than the client pay. Repayment Agreements Clients who have signed a repayment agreement must repay the department for SDA benefits, including provider payments, when the potential benefit is received ; see BEM 272, SDA Repay Agree- ments. Bridges determines if continuing eligibility exists and if not will close the case. Central office or the fiscal unit determines the amount to be recovered based on the monthly provider and incidentals payments. They will check Bridges for provider payments actually made during the repay agreement period and for pending payments which cannot be stopped. These payments will be included in the recovery calculations. PROVIDER INFORMATION
