101.08.05 APPLICATION ACTIONS

All applications will be subject to one of the following actions: • Approval – When all the eligibility factors are met, the application is approved, and the applicant is notified in writing or electronically of the approval. • Denial – When one or more eligibility factors are not met, the application is denied, and the applicant is notified in writing or electronically of the denial. Adverse action does not apply. NOTE: Death is not an appropriate reason to deny a Medicaid application. If the applicant dies before a final eligibility determination is made, the application process must be continued to completion. • Withdrawal – When the applicant decides to withdraw his request for assistance during the application process, it is not necessary to complete any remaining verification and evaluation. If the applicant is present, the specialist will obtain the request for withdrawal in writing. When the request to withdraw is not made in person, the specialist will document the case to reflect the specifics of the request. The application will be denied, and appropriate notice issued.
