OTHER ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
CARD ISSUANCE
When two or more adults reside in the same household, each receives his/her own card.
When an applicant is determined eligible and has an immediate medical need the district may issue a temporary Medicaid authorization (DSS-2831A) pending his/her receipt of a permanent CBIC. The DSS-2831A is intended for use between the time of determination and actual delivery of the permanent card, and is valid only for a specific number of days.

Interpretation: A CBIC is issued to each: (1) individual in receipt of SSI; (2) needy child in foster care; (3) individual determined eligible for Medicaid or Family Health Plus; or (4) individuals determined eligible as a Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB). Cards are not issued for periods of retroactive coverage. Certain recipients, such as those in nursing homes or voluntary childcare institutions which receive Medicaid per diem payments do not receive a CBIC. Rather, their names are placed on a roster of eligible individuals. Rosters are generated from principal provider codes and sent to each facility.
Effective with new or replacement cards requested on or after December 12, 2009 the sequence number that appears on the card will be randomly assigned. A Date and Time stamp is included on all new and replacement cards to help recipients, providers and local district workers identify the most recently issued CBIC card.
Disposition: Persons, who are required to have a photo CBIC, but fail or refuse, may not be denied or discontinued from Medicaid for failure to obtain such photograph. Individuals must not be called into the LDSS solely to obtain a CBIC photograph, but should be photographed at the next time there is an in-person contact. If the individual must come to the LDSS to meet a referral requirement, such as a IV-D interview, a CBIC photo may be obtained at that time.
All photo identification cards must be signed. A card may be signed by the recipient, the recipient’s authorized representative, the recipient’s caretaker relative, or an authorized representative of the (MRG)
