LIS or MIPPA File

Upon receipt of a MIPPA file, the WDH LTC Unit Consultant copies and pastes the information transmitted from the Social Security Administration into an Excel spreadsheet, formats and sends to the Customer Service center. Customer Service Center (CSC) processes the MIPPA file and registers the application in WES. CSC enters the Social Security income and uses collateral contact for verification. If there is a spouse, the Social Security income of the couple is combined. Enter the total Social Security income under the applicant and $0.00 for the spouse. This will trigger the BENDEX interface to obtain individual income for each spouse. No other verifications are required unless there is conflicting information. Client's must be periodically reviewed every 12 months under the Medicare Savings Program. Refer to Section M1403 for information on reviewing eligibility.
