Adult Medicaid Manual MA-2309 LIS APPLICATION FOR MEDICAID

ISSUED 01/01/10 - CHANGE NO. 02-10

I. Introduction

Beginning January 1, 2010, the Social Security Administration (SSA) transmits daily electronic data for each LIS application after SSA determines LIS eligibility. DMA matches the data with current Medicaid recipient data and creates an electronic North Carolina Medicaid application for individuals who are not current Medicaid/MQB recipients or do not have a pending application. The county departments of social services are notified of the electronic application on the regular Adjusted Application Management Report.
