2. Account Duration – An application account is open for a period of ninety (90) days. Applications may be started at any time. Once started, progress can be saved at any point and the application returned to at a later time. Incomplete applications not submitted within ninety (90) days are automatically deleted in the eligibility system. 3. Application Materials – The application materials a person seeking Medicaid coverage must provide may vary depending on the application processing flow: a. MAGI-based eligibility. As indicated in § 2.8.2 of this Part, applicants who are under sixty-five (65) are generally evaluated first for eligibility in one of the Medicaid Affordable Care Coverage (MACC) groups before being considered for the IHCC groups. The MACC group, MAGI-based application process is explained in greater detail in Part 30-00-3 of this Title. This eligibility process generally requires applicants to provide information used when filing federal tax forms and/or documents commonly used for identification and income verification purposes. b. SSI-based eligibility. The IHCC application process builds on the MAGI review unless a person is age sixty-five (65) or older. In all cases, self-attestation of income and resources begins the process. To the full extent feasible, electronic data matches are used to verify financial information. Documentation of certain information may be required, however. In addition, when using a paper application, access to certain types of materials may be necessary. (1) Materials that may be of assistance in completing the application include, but are not limited to: (AA) Federal tax filing status (BB) Social Security Numbers (CC) Birth Dates (DD) Passport or other immigration numbers (EE) Federal tax returns (FF) Information about any health coverage available to the applicant or the applicant's family, including any information the applicant has about the health insurance their current employer offers even if they are not covered by the employer’s insurance plan, Medicare and other forms of coverage
