Application Actions

Application Actions All applications are subject to one (1) of the following actions: A. Approval when all eligibility factors are met, B. Denial when one (1) or more eligibility factors are not met. 1. A Medicaid application cannot be denied due to death. If the applicant dies before a final eligibility determination is made, the application process must be continued to completion. 2. If an applicant provides all needed information to complete the application before the end of the month following the month of the denial, the denied application is used to determine eligibility using the original application date and form. C. Withdrawal. 1. When the applicant withdraws the request for assistance during the application process, no remaining verification and evaluation is performed. 2. If the applicant is present, the Division of Medicaid obtains the request for withdrawal in writing. 3. When the request to withdraw is not made in person, the Division of Medicaid documents the case to reflect the specifics of the request. 4. The withdrawn application is denied and the appropriate notice is issued.
