305.09 Verification (MAM)

__________________________________________________________________

Contact the institution to verify an individual's residence in an institution, but only when it is a factor of eligibility.

When individuals must reapply for benefits after 30 days, but within 60 days, of admission to a public institution, use the same verification as for reapplications.

When individuals update their eligibility status, verify only changed factors affecting eligibility. Verify within 10 days unless requesting verification directly from a third party, in which case allow an additional 10 days.

Designated Receiving Facilities - The Office of Community Support and Long Term Care must provide a signed and dated statement of the anticipated length of hospitalization.
