Common use of Department of Economic Security Clause in Contracts

Department of Economic Security. If an SMI member does not meet the federally defined criteria of disabled for Medicaid under the SSI MAO category, AHCCCS will continue their coverage under the AHCCCS Care category, as long as they meet all other required eligibility criteria, such as income. Although AHCCCS will make every effort, using information already available to the state, to identify people who are age 65 or older, disabled, pregnant, or the parent of a deprived child to ensure that their coverage continues under other categories, we may not identify all of these individuals. If an individual’s coverage in the Childless Adult program is being terminated and the individual believes that they may be covered under one of these other groups, they can notify their eligibility worker, who can help them apply for coverage under these categories. AHCCCS is also working with DDSA to streamline the process of collecting and submitting documentation for the disability determination. RBHA providers can also assist individuals in submitting documentation to DDSA. AHCCCS Care members should do everything in their power to complete their renewal on time. They can complete a paper renewal form or complete an electronic renewal on line at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. They should also report any changes in address to their eligibility worker to insure no loss of contact.
