Worker responsibilities
When reviewing an individual's case, it is important to enter an applicant's immigration status correctly. For example, if an applicant is a "Nonqualified Alien", the applicant's immigration status should never be entered as "Not Lawfully Present" (in Healthplanfinder) or "Undocumented" (in ACES).
When working a Classic Medicaid case in ACES, gather all the information necessary to determine eligibility as described in WAC 182-503-0535 . Document immigration status, date of entry, armed service/veteran status, work quarters (if applicable), and SSN information in the system. Inform any individual who is subject to the five-year bar of the expiration date of their five-year bar and of the need to inform the agency if family members become citizens (including parents who have children under 18).
When an immigrant has applied for Classic Medicaid and has an Affidavit of Support form (I-864) filled out on their behalf, be sure to determine work quarters and immigration status. If the affidavit is still in effect: See WAC 182-512-0785 and WAC 182-512-0790 to determine if sponsor deeming applies; and See WAC 182-512-0795 for treatment of the sponsor's income.
