renewal decision, change self-reports and ADR responses must submitted at least thirty (30) days from the date of the renewal notice. The State redetermines eligibility based on this information. If the beneficiary receives an ADR and does not take the action required, this redetermination is based solely on the information known to the IES through self-attestations and applicable data sources. A formal notice is issued with the State’s final renewal decision if eligibility is discontinued on this basis at least fifteen (15) days prior to the eligibility continuation or termination date. Information received by the State at any time prior to the eligibility termination date is considered. However, if the information is submitted after the tenth day of the renewal month, a change from managed care to fee-for-service service delivery may result. c. Reinstatement. A reinstatement of Medicaid eligibility is permitted without a full reapplication, in instances in which a beneficiary takes the actions required to resolve a discrepancy or information gap in the ninety (90) day period after eligibility is terminated. 4. Consent – The State must obtain the consent of the Medicaid member to retrieve and verify electronically information related to eligibility factors subject to change including any federal tax information required to review income eligibility. Such consent is obtained during the initial application for Medicaid eligibility when the Medicaid member signs the application, under penalty of perjury. 5. Enrollment – A Medicaid member whose eligibility has been continued through the annual renewal process must remain in the same Medicaid health plan unless the renewal occurs during an open enrollment period. If an open enrollment process is not underway at the time of renewal, the provisions set forth in Part 30-05-2 of this Title prevail. 6. Access – The State must ensure that any application or supplemental forms required for renewal are accessible to persons who have limited proficiency in English or who have a disability. 3.2.3 Responsibilities of Medicaid Members A. Medicaid members must ensure that the State has access to accurate and complete information about any eligibility factors subject to change at the time of the annual renewal. Accordingly: 1. Consent – At the time of the initial application or first MAGI-based renewal, Medicaid members must provide the State with consent to retrieve and review any information not currently on record pertaining to the eligibility factors subject to change through electronic data matches conducted through the State’s affordable coverage eligibility system.
