MISSISSIPPI DIVISION OF MEDICAID Eligibility Policy and Procedures Manual CHAPTER 101 – Coverage Groups and Processing Applications and Reviews Page |701 Effective Month: December 2016 101.17.02 90-DAY REINSTATEMENT PERIOD FOR MAGI AND ABD RENEWALS A 90-day reinstatement period is required for MAGI (including CHIP) and ABD renewal/review closures to allow eligibility to be reinstated retroactively to the effective date of the closure if the recipient is otherwise eligible. The 90-day reinstatement period, defined as 90-days from the effective date of the closure, allows Medicaid or CHIP eligibility to be reinstated without requiring a new application or updated signature. The 90-day reinstatement period applies to renewal/review closures due to: • Failure to return the MAGI or ABD renewal form, or • Failure to comply with renewal requirements by not providing requested information issued in writing on a DOM-307, Request for Information (and DOM-309, Second Request for Information, for ABD purposes). The 90-day reinstatement period is not associated with other types of reinstatements described in this section that either have no time limits for initiating a reinstatement or may have different time limits. These types of reinstatements are the result of corrective action needed, hearing decisions, known temporary closures for ABD and locating a recipient whose whereabouts were previously unknown.
