RESOURCES: ACA and Family Medically Needy: Resources only need to be verified for medically needy coverage. ABD: Resource verification required for all ABD programs. Verifications that may be used but are not limited to bank statements, vehicle query, stock certificates, and safety deposit box contents. Tax appraisals cannot be used to determine the value of real property. Use information from knowledgeable sources, such as real estate brokers familiar with the area where the property is located. SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER: Client statement; SSA interface will verify. Do not request copies of cards, unless there is a mismatch with SSA data. Parents have until the 1st of the month following a baby’s birth or release from the hospital (whichever is later) to provide verification of application for a Social Security number. The newborn’s Medicaid cannot be closed due to the parent’s failure to provide a Social Security number until the next case redetermination. Good cause may exist if the individual has well-established religious objections to obtaining a social security number. TPL TRAUMA QUESTIONNAIRES: Adult Medicaid clients are required to cooperate with TPL regarding trauma/injury questionnaires. A child’s eligibility will not be affected by the parents’ failure to cooperate. Effective Date: 8/1/2026
