Counties must reinstate and cease termination of ABD-eligible Medi-Cal cases where RFTHIs were not returned

DHCS issued a letter directing counties to stop terminating cases for specific aged, blind and disabled cases where the beneficiary did not return the Request for Tax Household Information form associated with MAGI rules.  Counties will also be reinstating those ABD beneficiaries who were terminated for not returning the RFTHI.  In these cases, the county must restore eligibility back to the date of discontinuance, then proceed to complete a 2014 redetermination based on ABD status before going onto a MAGI determination.  DHCS ACWDL 15-03 (1/20/15).
