50 VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS The Affordable Care Act requires that Medicaid applications be approved as quickly as possible, including real time, when all information needed to determine eligibility is available. The Department must use electronic data for verification whenever possible. Except where the law requires other procedures, such as identity, citizenship or immigration status, the Department must accept self attestation of information needed to determine an individual eligible for Medicaid, without requiring further information or documentation prior to approval for benefits. States are required to verify citizenship and immigration status through the hub, if possible. As part of the application process there will be a data request sent to the federal hub. Information available through the hub will include, at a minimum, SSA (including citizenship), the Department of Treasury, IRS and Homeland Security (for immigration status). Other resources are expected to be added over time. 50
51 VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS Reasonable Compatibility If the information provided by the individual (whether at application, review or by some other means, such as a reported change) is reasonably compatible with the electronic information received by the Department, the Department must determine eligibility based on that information. The Department defines reasonable compatibility as this: If both customer statement and electronic verification are above or below the income limit, the customer s statement is acceptable. If not, and the customer s statement is not more than 10% below the electronically verified amount, the customer s statement is acceptable. 51
52 VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS Citizenship As stated previously, states are required to verify citizenship and immigration status through the hub if possible. The Affordable Care Act requires that individuals applying for Insurance Affordability Programs make a declaration of citizenship or immigration status and states must verify citizenship through either an electronic data match with SSA, state vital statistic data matches, or with documentary evidence. Non-citizen status should be verified through the Department of Homeland Security. Both sources will be available through the hub with real time responses anticipated. Verification of citizenship is a one-time activity and must be maintained in the electronic case file. At review or future application states are prohibited from re-verifying citizenship. 52
53 VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS Reasonable Opportunity Applicants declaring U.S. citizenship must be given a reasonable opportunity period to verify their citizenship or immigration status. CMS recommends this period be 90 days. As long as the individual is otherwise eligible, they must be furnished with Medicaid during this period while the state tries to resolve the discrepancy with SSA or the applicant, and request additional documentation from the applicant if the discrepancies cannot be resolved. Some examples of when the reasonable opportunity period might be needed: No SSN provided for a data match The hub, SSA or DHS data bases are down An inconsistency between an electronic source and the individual s declaration exists Electronic verification is unsuccessful even after the Department has made every effort to resolve 53
54 VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS The basic plan is to: Accept self attestation when required Obtain electronic verification Ask the customer for a reasonable explanation of discrepancies Obtain paper documentation from the individual as a last resort 54
