SSI MEDICAID – COUNTY DSS RESPONSIBILITY

22 REVISED 11/01/11 – CHANGE NO. 17-11 (X.D.6.) c. Any request by the primary care provider that a patient be disenrolled with that practice.

If there are any questions about Community Care of North Carolina/Carolina Access (CCNC/CA), please call your Medicaid Program Representative.

E. IV-D Referral

1. Caretakers of SSI children must cooperate with IV-D to establish medical support agreements when the following applies:

a. The caretaker is applying for or receiving Medicaid for herself in any aid program/category except MPW (see MA-2375, Procedures for Child Support Enforcement), and

b. The child meets the criteria listed in MA-2375, Procedures for Child Support Enforcement.

2. Caretakers of SSI children who are not applying for or receiving Medicaid for themselves may choose to cooperate with Child Support. The approval notice for SSI Medicaid instructs the recipient to contact IV-D if there is a child lacking parental support due to absence of one or both parents.

3. EIS will notify IV-D of the new SSI Medicaid case when a child lacking parental support due to absence of one or both parents:

a. Is approved for SSI Medicaid, and

b. Previously had an automated referral to IV-D completed. This continues the link between IV-D and EIS which allows automatic updates between the two systems.

4. Individuals in a pending application or active case in EIS who are already referred to IV-D when approved for SSI may continue to use IV-D services. EIS will continue to send automatic updates to IV-D for these cases if the SSI Medicaid case is created with the same EIS Individual ID. New SSI Medicaid approvals, including individuals who have never been active in EIS, may also use IV-D services.
