1403.03 Other Electronic Applications - The application date for other electronic applications received by the agency is described below. MIPPA and FFM applications both have two (2) application dates – one for processing purposes and one for eligibility purposes.
FFM Applications - The date the electronic data file is received by the agency from the federally facilitated health insurance marketplace exchange is the application date for processing purposes and establishes the 45-day processing timeline. The date the original health insurance exchange subsidy application was filed with the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM) is considered the date of request for medical assistance and therefore is the start date for eligibility purposes.
MIPPA Applications - The date the electronic data file is received by the agency from social security is the application date for processing purposes and establishes the 45-day processing timeline. The date the original Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) application was filed with Social Security is considered the date of request for MSP and therefore is the start date for eligibility purposes. Note: Since the original LIS applications on which these applications are based do not include a request for prior medical assistance, there is no MSP eligibility for months prior to the request month of these applications.
PE Application – The date the PE Application is received by the agency shall be considered the application date.
