Question Response 5 Describe any additional MAGI-based eligibility verification policies and procedures that have not been covered in this verification plan (optional): Mitigation: Use of Non-MAGI Methodology from January 1 - January 25 for Medicaid and CHIP: Michigan's MAGI determination service became functional on January 25, 2014. For applications submitted January 1 through January 24, we determined eligibility based on 2013 rules. However, if an application resulted in a denial for other than non-procedural reasons, we are rechecking eligibility based on MAGI. We may need to ask the applicant for additional information in order to complete the MAGI determination but we are not requesting an entirely new application. Medicaid eligibility will be effective on the first day of the month in which the applicant originally applied. CHIP is prospective enrollment so eligibility would be either February 1 or March 1, depending on the date in January in which the applicant applied.
