ACL 01-10: CMSP eligibility manual update (3/11/10)

This letter details several changes to the CMSP eligibility manual that went into effect 4/1/10:
• Conforms the CMSP definition of long term care with the Medi-Cal definition.
• Removes GA/ GR from the same category as other public assistance programs- now those who receive GA/ GR are not excluded from the budget unit.
• Makes failure to cooperate with SSA a reason for denial or discontinuance. This denial is rescinded if an appeal is made to SSA within 30 days.
• Social Security overpayment reductions will be excluded in income/ share of cost calculations.
The letter includes the updated manual sections. [Download]
