The Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PARIS) is an information sharing system that includes three different data matches. The PARIS-Interstate match allows states to compare their beneficiary information with other states. Beginning July 1, 2009 DHCS will run a two year pilot program using PARIS-Interstate match. DHCS will send residency verification notices to some Medi-Cal beneficiaries that PARIS identifies as receiving a public assistance benefit in another state. The notice will include a reply card that beneficiaries must return within ten days; if the card is not returned, or the beneficiary does not contact their worker, within ten days the beneficiary will be cut off Medi-Cal. DHCS will send a post-disenrollment notice indicating the reason for disenrollment; the notice will include information on how to request a fair hearing. [Download]
