Interpretation: The period covered by a recertification may vary by category and circumstances but may not extend beyond one year. Most recipients are certified for one year; however, when a recipient is unemployed or receives variable or seasonal income, s/he may require more frequent recertification.

Verification/ Documentation: Renewing community Medicaid recipients who are not seeking coverage of institutional based nursing facility services all FHPlus recipients, recipients of the Medicare Savings Program (MSP), the Family Planning Benefit Program (FPBP), participants in the Medicaid Buy-In Program for Working People with Disabilities (MBI-WPD) and the Medicaid Cancer Treatment Program: Breast, Cervical, Colorectal and Prostate may, at renewal attest to the amount of their income, resources as appropriate, child/adult care expenses and to their residence, even if their address has changed since their last eligibility determination.

SSI-related recipients who are participating in the MBI-WPD program must continue to document their employment status.

All persons renewing and who do not have a resource test may attest to the amount of interest income generated by resources.

For persons other than those receiving chronic care, a reported change in circumstances may be treated as a renewal. A recipient’s attestation of a change in circumstances by telephone is sufficient to re-budget the case, and a written statement documenting the change is no longer required. However, if the recipient requests to add an individual to the case, documentation requirements must be met.
