REVIEWABLE UNIT DEPENDENCIES Many RUs in MACPro are dependent upon other RUs. Each time a primary RU is changed, there could be an effect on other, secondary RUs which are dependent on the primary. For example, in the Mandatory Eligibility Groups RU, there is a question as to whether the state covers the Adult Group. If Yes is selected, and if a box is checked to include the Adult Group in the submission package, then the Adult Group RU will be included by the system in the package and the user can navigate to it to complete it. If No is selected, the Adult Group RU will not be included in the package. In this example, the Mandatory Eligibility Groups RU is the Primary RU and the Adult Group RU is the Secondary RU. The Adult Group RU is considered to be dependent on selections made in the Mandatory Eligibility Groups RU.

Whenever a change in a primary RU may affect a secondary RU, you either need to revise the secondary RU (if it is already in the package) or add the secondary RU to the package so that it can be updated in the same submission package as the primary RU.

The following table explains the dependent relationships for the More Restrictive Requirements than SSI under 1902(f) – (209(b) States) RU: Primary RU Secondary RU Nature of Dependency Actions Needed Eligibility Determinations of Individuals Age 65 or Older or Who Have Blindness or a Disability

More Restrictive Requirements than SSI under 1902(f) – (209(b) States) Unless Eligibility Determinations of Individuals Age 65 or Older or Who Have Blindness or a Disability RU (primary) has either been approved in MACPro or is included, completed and validated in the submission package, the More Restrictive Requirements than SSI under 1902(f) – (209(b) States) RU (secondary) cannot be displayed. If the secondary RU will not display because the primary RU is neither approved in MACPro nor included in the package:  Add the primary RU to the package, complete it and validate it.  Alternatively, remove the secondary RU from the package. Optional Eligibility Groups More Restrictive Requirements than SSI under 1902(f) – (209(b) States) Unless the Optional Eligibility Groups RU (primary) has either been approved in MACPro or is included, completed and validated in the submission package, the More Restrictive Requirements than SSI under 1902(f) – (209(b) States) RU (secondary) cannot be displayed. If the secondary RU will not display because the primary RU is neither approved in MACPro nor included in the package:  Add the primary RU to the package, complete it and validate it.  Alternatively, remove the secondary RU from the package.
