1412
1413 Reinstatement of Assistance - Medical assistance can be reinstated in the month following the month of closure or suspension if the reason for the closure has been cured by the end of the month following the month of the closure/suspension and all other eligibility requirements are met. The exception to this is if medical assistance was discontinued due to whereabouts unknown (see 7230). If the individual was discontinued due to whereabouts unknown and confirms their whereabouts prior to the end of their review period, coverage shall be reinstated back to the date of termination, unless the consumer reports a change in circumstances that will impact eligibility. If this information becomes known, the agency will be required to act on the information. See 1334.
A new application is not required for reinstatement purposes unless the current review period has expired. However, if the review form is returned within the three month reconsideration period (see 7431), the form can be used to redetermine eligibility.
