101.04.07 RESIDENCE CHANGE DURING THE APPLICATION PROCESS

If the applicant reports moving to another location within the state during the application process, the application must be completed by the first regional office, and if approved, transferred to the new location. If the application is denied, do not transfer the record until the person reapplies in the second location. If the applicant reports moving out of the state during the application process, determine when the move occurred. If otherwise eligible, the applicant may be approved for Medicaid for any requested retroactive months through the month of the move. If the applicant would be CHIP-eligible, determine if eligibility can be established for the month of application or any subsequent month(s) when the applicant lived in MS. NOTE: If only some members of the applicant family are moving from the state, identify the adults and/or children who remain MS residents and handle their ongoing eligibility accordingly.
