32.4 MDHS Action on Changes.

A. MDHS must take prompt action on all changes to determine if the change affects eligibility or benefit levels. B. MDHS will only act on changes in medical expenses that are verified upon receipt from a source other than the household and contact with the household is not needed. C. MDHS must document when a change is reported. D. MDHS must advise the household of additional verification requirements, if any, and state that failure to provide verification shall result in increased benefits reverting to the original allotment. Benefits will be restored when MDHS fails to act on a change that will increase benefits within the required time limitations. Source: 7 CFR §273.12(c) Revised: March 2022
