Page 2 of 2 § 10:69-3.24 Change of county residence (3) Grant Medicaid coverage (provided application to transfer has been made) for the second month after the month of initial receipt of case records when such records are received on or after the 10th of the month; and (4) Notify immediately the county of origin of the date case records were received and the date Medicaid coverage shall be granted. iii. The welfare of the clients shall not be adversely affected and disagreement or other administrative difficulty between the counties shall not prejudice their right to uninterrupted Medicaid coverage. Any adverse action resulting from transfer requires timely notice (see N.J.A.C. 10:69-6). If the receiving county is unable to verify eligibility within prescribed time limits, as stated in (b)3ii(2) or (3) above, it shall accept case responsibility in accordance with (b)3ii above and grant Medicaid coverage until such verification is completed (see N.J.A.C. 10:69-3). iv. When a change in residence results in loss of Medicaid coverage, the receiving county shall send timely notice of such change to the client and a copy to the county of origin consistent with the requirements of N.J.A.C. 10:69-6. It is the receiving county's responsibility to send adverse notice, when necessary, after determining the client's circumstances following the change in county residence. In the event of a request for a fair hearing within 15 days of the mailing of such notice, the county of origin shall be notified and shall be responsible for Medicaid coverage pending the fair hearing. (1) Whenever the beneficiary is entitled to receive Medicaid until the final hearing decision, the county of origin shall issue the Health Benefits Identification (HBID) Card and/or HBID Emergency Services Letter until the decision is rendered. The receiving county shall then immediately accept case responsibility. (c) Those cases that are in Medicaid extension only shall also be transferred to the new county of residence when the family moves from the county of origin in the same manner as active AFDC-related Medicaid cases. The procedures established at N.J.A.C. 10:69-3.26(b) are to be followed when transferring a case in Medicaid extension (see also N.J.A.C. 10:69-5.13).
