Rule 23-101-12.4 - Pre-Populated Renewals

A. If the Division of Medicaid cannot renew eligibility based on information available to the agency from electronic data matches, the Division of Medicaid issues a pre-populated renewal form to the recipient displaying the information that is available to the Division of Medicaid.

B. The beneficiary has a minimum of thirty (30) days from the date the renewal form is issued to respond and provide any necessary information needed to renew eligibility, including returning the signed renewal form. The signed renewal form and any paper verifications must be returned to the Division of Medicaid through any of the modes permitted for submission of applications listed in Miss. Admin Code Part 101, Part 4.2.

C. If a signed renewal form is not returned by the due date or if all requested information is not provided a telephone contact is attempted prior to taking action to terminate eligibility.

D. If the beneficiary is determined no longer eligible at the time of the annual redetermination of eligibility, the Division of Medicaid reviews the information in the case record for possible eligibility under any other available coverage within Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), if appropriate.

E. If a renewal form and/or requested information is not returned timely for either a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) or aged, blind and disabled (ABD) renewal but the beneficiary subsequently submits the signed renewal form and any necessary information needed to renew eligibility within ninety (90) (ninety) days after the case is terminated, the case will be reinstated without requiring a new application, provided all eligibility factors are met
