TRANSMITTAL NUMBER:   MC #44

 

MANUAL:  Family Medicaid

 

DATE:  January 4, 2010

 

As a result of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, we are able to implement two new policies that will greatly simplify the citizenship and identity verification process.

 

 

 

We are clarifying that verbal verification of self-employment income and expenses is allowable, although written verification is preferred if available.  Verbal verification can be received from collateral contacts or the self-employed individual.    

 

We also removed the requirement that an 18 year old in school must graduate by the age of 19 in order to be considered a dependent child under Family Medicaid rules.

 

Other changes are either technical in nature or clarifications that are the result of policy questions or suggestions from the field.

 

Other highlights to policy revisions are described below.  If you have any questions please contact the Policy and Program Development Team at 465-3382 or email dpapolicy@alaska.gov.
