10:71-9.5 Eligibility for other programs
(a) Review: The CBOSS will review each MAAC case in accordance with (a)1 below for
potential eligibility for other assistance programs through which the costs of medical care
may be met. Those programs will not include General Assistance but will include such
programs as SSI and Medicaid Only.
1. Review times: The CBOSS will conduct a review with respect to other program eligibility
at time of initial certification, at the beginning of the review month, whenever any change in
client income occurs and at the time of any change in standards of other appropriate
programs.
(b) Referral: If eligibility is found for regular Medicaid Only, the CBOSS will convert the case
accordingly. If potential eligibility is found for a program administered by another agency,
the CBOSS will make referral promptly and will institute procedures for follow-up of the
referral. Upon acceptance of the individual into any other program through which medical
costs are met, the CBOSS will terminate the MAAC case.
