315.07 Good Cause for Not Developing Potential Sources of Income (AAM)

SR 03-22 Dated 07/03 Previous Policy

__________________________________________________________________

Medical assistance applicants and recipients are exempt from developing potential sources of income if good cause exists. Good cause exists if the individual verifies that a physical, mental, educational, or linguistic limitation prevented the medical assistance applicant or recipient from:

• applying for the other benefits for which they are potentially eligible; or

• taking the necessary steps to obtain the benefits.

If good cause exists, the medical assistance applicant or recipient is exempt from developing potential sources of income until the individual ’ s next redetermination, at which time the exemption must be reviewed and, if good cause continues to exist, the exemption may be extended until the next regularly scheduled redetermination.
