d. SSN Not Provided by Renewal Deadline The worker must assist the enrollee in obtaining the applied-for SSN. The worker will ask the enrollee for the assigned SSN at the first renewal, and give a deadline date for the enrollee to provide the SSN. If the enrollee does not provide the SSN by the deadline, the worker will ask the enrollee why it was not provided to the worker: • Did the enrollee ever receive the SSN from SSA? • If not, why not? If the problem is not an SSA administrative problem, the worker must cancel MA coverage for the enrollee whose SSN is not provided. C.

If the SSN number has not yet been issued at 90 days, obtain the SSN or proof of application for an SSN at the first renewal of the infant’s coverage during the month or after turning one.
