452-9        REFUSE CASH CASES

Upon written and signed request, an eligible applicant or recipient may refuse to accept all or part of any APA payment to which he or she is entitled.  Refusal of APA cash assistance does not affect eligibility for Medicaid.  Refuse Cash APA cases are established and maintained as "0" grant, Medicaid eligible cases.

The recipient may withdraw his or her request to refuse cash at any time.  The request to restore the APA cash assistance may be made either orally or in writing.  The APA payment will be restored effective the first day of the month in which the client's request to restore the APA payment is received.
