finds an inconsistency between the information reported by the individual and the estimate calculated by the district, and the interest income information obtained by the district makes the individual ineligible for Medicaid or FHPlus, documentation of the interest income must be obtained from the individual. For individuals who qualify for Medicaid with a spenddown, the difference in the amount of interest income reported by the recipient must be greater than $1.00 per month before requiring further follow-up.
Districts must continue to review RFI reports to identify resources belonging to individuals who do not have a resource test to determine when a resource identified by RFI is significant enough to generate interest that would/could affect the individual’s eligibility. In such instances, the district must request documentation of the interest income and re-calculate eligibility as appropriate.
