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

MA While Appealing Disability Termination MA eligibility continues for an individual who: • Has been terminated from SSI because he is no longer considered disabled or blind, and Note: See BEM 260 about SSI denial codes. • Has filed an appeal of the termination with SSA within SSA’s 60-day time limit, and Note: See BEM 260 for information about the SSA appeal process and appeal codes. • Is a Michigan resident. Other eligibility factors such as income, assets and third-party resource liability are not an issue. MA eligibility continues until the person: • Exhausts his SSA appeal rights, or • Fails to file an appeal at any step within SSA’s 60-day time limit, or • Is no longer a Michigan resident. When you run EDBC, Bridges will determine whether the individual qualifies under other MA categories (BEM 105) when eligibility ends based on this policy. Administrative Case Closures SSI cases with PAY STAT code N20 on SOLQ are closed due to administrative reasons and might reopen within three weeks. Con- sider this in deciding when to begin evaluating continued MA eligibility and watch for an SSI reopening during the evaluation process.
