MAGI-BASED ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION PLAN (Insert Medicaid, CHIP, or Both) State: Section D. Additional Verification Questions Medicaid & CHIP South Dakota Question Response 1 If paper documentation is required when a data source is not available or the information obtained from a data source is not reasonably compatible with the information provided by or on behalf of the individual, briefly describe how the state determined that establishing and using an electronic data source was not effective, considering such factors as cost and program integrity in accordance with 42 CFR 435.952(c): The state accepts self-attestation without additional verfication for many factors of eligibility. State will also utilize SNAP/TANF data when available. For eligibility factors that we do not accept self attestation, we utilize all available electronic data sources, including vital statistics as a back-up for citizenship. If self-attestation is not reasonably compatible with electronic information, staff will first attempt to contact the individual or another person who can verify information for an explanation. If the explanation is not reasonable or staff are not able to contact the individual, paper documentation will be requested. 2 Please describe how the state uses PARIS? To identify dual state participation and eligibility for federal health insurance benefits. PARIS is used quarterly. 3 Please indicate (YES) or (NO) if the State intends to request Secretarial approval to solely use alternative data sources for financial verification other than those listed in 42 CFR 435.948 (Numbers 1-8 in Section B-1).
