● Income (earned and unearned); ● Household composition/household member’s extended absence; ● Marital status; ● Residence or mailing address; ● Medical insurance coverage; ● Other circumstances or anticipated changes which may affect eligibility; ● Social Security number for a required household member.

MAABD Exception: In addition to the above reporting requirements, MAABD households are required to report changes in resources.

D-510 WHEN TO REPORT

Changes must be reported immediately from the date of application up to the date of approval.

After approval, any change in circumstances must be reported no later than the fifth of the month following the month the change occurred.

MAABD Exception: After approval, any change in circumstances must be reported no later than the tenth of the month following the month the change occurred.

D-515 HOW TO REPORT

Household members or someone acting on their behalf may report changes:

● in person; ● by telephone; ● by mail, fax or email; ● on the Change Report Form 2584; and ● changes received by Nevada Health Link will be received as a task in AMPS.

Applications submitted to the Division are another method of reporting changes. Each application should be evaluated for changes that would affect ongoing benefits, such as a member moving out of one household into another.
