Individual reports before receipt

When an individual reports that they will be receiving a one-time payment, determine if you need any other information before taking action. You need to know the amount and date of receipt. If the individual did not provide this information at the time of report, request the information and allow 10 days for the individual to provide it.

When you receive the information, enter the income for the months the individual expects to receive them, allowing 10-days advance notice.

If the payment causes the medical assistance unit (MAU) to be over income for one month, suspend the coverage for that month.

If the payment causes the MAU to be over income for two months, terminate the coverage and determine eligibility for other medical programs.

If you do not have time to give the client 10-day notice, do not enter the payment as income in ACES.
