Introduction

Persons applying for or receiving MassHealth must verify their citizenship and identity or immigration status. Citizens and nationals who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) based upon disability, or Medicare (including those who are entitled to Medicare), and children in receipt of either Title IV-B services or Title IV-E adoption assistance or foster care payments do not need to submit verification. In addition, a child born to a woman who is eligible for MassHealth on the date of the child’s birth is exempt from providing citizenship and identity verification as described in 130 CMR 504.004(E).
