disabled. ♦ WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children) – helps with

checks that can be used at Iowa grocery stores and pharmacies to buy healthy foods for pregnant and postpartum women, and children under the age of 5. If you would like to apply for WIC, call 1-800-532-1579 or 515-281-6650 or visit the WIC website http://www.idph.state.ia.us/wic/families.asp for more information about making an appointment with your local WIC agency.

Fill out and sign the application. Use blue or black ink. Please be truthful. If you are helping someone else, answer the questions for that person.

3. Provide Any Needed Proof See the table below for what is needed. Including copies of the proof will help speed up the processing of your application.

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES – READ AND KEEP THIS SHEET INFORMATION FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN APPLYING FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE • I understand I assume full responsibility for the accuracy of the statements on this form. I understand the Department of

Human Services (DHS) will use this statement to determine my eligibility for Medical Assistance. • I understand my eligibility will not be affected by my race, creed, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex, except where

this is restricted by law. • I understand that I have the right to a hearing if this application is denied or not acted upon promptly or if services granted

are terminated, reduced, or suspended. I understand that I can get a hearing by making a request in writing to my local DHS office and that I may represent myself or use a lawyer, relative, friend, or other spokesperson.

• I am aware that my case may be picked by the Department for a complete Quality Control or other review of my eligibility for assistance. If my case is selected for verification, I will cooperate fully in the verification. I hereby authorize all persons to release confidential information concerning my eligibility to a DHS reviewer. I understand that failure to cooperate with such a review can result in denial or cancellation of benefits.

• I will notify DHS within ten days of any changes in medical benefits or health insurance coverage. In addition, I understand that I am to notify my medical providers (doctors, pharmacist, etc.) if another party may be liable to pay my medical expenses. I will notify DHS within ten days if I file an insurance claim or retain an attorney to seek payment for injuries and medical expenses resulting from those injuries that otherwise would be paid by Medicaid. Failure to comply with my responsibilities can give the Department cause to deny or terminate Medicaid eligibility.

• I agree to assign medical payments from a third party to the Medicaid agency for myself and others who are eligible for Medicaid, for whom, I legally can assign benefits. I also agree to cooperate in obtaining medical payments from third parties.

• I understand that I am to reimburse the Department for any money paid to me or paid to a provider on my behalf to which I was not entitled.

• I further understand that the Department will provide documents or claim forms describing the services paid by Medicaid upon my request or the request of an attorney acting on my behalf. Such documents may also be provided to a third party when necessary to establish the extent of the Department's claim for reimbursement.

• I understand that federal and state law and rules permit access by authorized federal and state officials to Medicaid providers' records. I also fully understand that my acceptance of Medicaid is my consent for these authorized persons to have access to my medical and health care records during the time I am eligible for Medicaid, as necessary to verify appropriate Medicaid payment.

• I give my permission to tell my medical providers the status for my Medically Needy case, including the amount of my spenddown and their bills used to meet spenddown, or when a premium is due for Medicaid for Employed People with Disabilities.

• If I become enrolled in a managed health care plan, I consent to disclosure of medical information, including any clinical mental health or substance abuse information, by my medical providers to the HMO, PHP, other managed care providers or to the authorized administrative body contracted by the managed care provider to determine appropriateness, quality, or utilization of services I received while enrolled in managed health care.

• I understand that if Medical Assistance is approved, support payments intended for medical costs must be assigned and paid to the Department of Human Services to the extent of the benefits I receive. I understand that the Department may intervene, according but not limited to, Iowa Code Chapters 252A, 252B, 252C, 252D, 598, and 600B, to make claim and secure support from any person or party who may be responsible for my support or that of my children. I understand that if I receive Medicaid, the Department will pursue non-medical support for myself and my children upon my request. Medical support services include the establishment of paternity and the establishment and enforcement of medical support.

• I am aware that Section 1128B of the Social Security Act provides federal penalties for fraudulent acts and false reporting. Anyone who obtains, or tries to obtain, or helps any other person to obtain public assistance to which the person is not entitled is guilty of violating the laws of the state of Iowa. These laws include, but are not limited to, Iowa Code Chapters 243, 239B, 249A, and 249A.

• I understand and agree that I will need to provide the Department with either documentation from the Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS) or other documents the Department considers to be proof of the immigration status of each person in my household who is not a United States citizen or national. I understand that alien status may be subject to verification with CIS, which will require submission of certain information from this application form to CIS. I further understand that information received from CIS may affect my household's eligibility and level of benefits.

• If I filled out a separate application for food assistance and that application was referred to the Food Stamp Investigation Unit, I will cooperate with the investigation in order to receive Medicaid when the investigation involves income, resources and household composition that affect my Medicaid eligibility.

• I understand that the facts I give determine financial eligibility. A medical certification is also needed prior to approval for certain Medical Assistance programs. To determine medical certification, the Iowa Medicaid Enterprise (IME) Medical Services may need to contact my physician. I authorize my physician or health care provider to release information to IME Medical Services for this purpose. I agree to allow DHS to disclose the filing of this application to my nursing facility in order to obtain the level of care determination necessary for eligibility. A copy of this form received by fax will be given the same effect as the original.

MORE INFORMATION FOR ADULTS APPLYING FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE • I will notify the LOCAL DHS office of any change in my information on this application, including but not limited to,

anticipated income or property such as an inheritance, lump-sum payments on delinquent child support, or any change in income or living arrangements of myself or any other member of my family. If I have any doubt whether a particular change in circumstances is information that must be reported, I shall report this to my LOCAL office no later than ten days from the date the change occurs. I also understand that I am to pay back to the Department any money received by me or paid to a vendor on my behalf to which I was not entitled.

• I understand payments under the Medical Insurance Program (Part B of Medicare) will be made directly to the physicians and medical suppliers on any future unpaid bills for medical and other health services furnished me while eligible for Medicaid.

• I authorize the DHS to share information from this application, and information about my condition from the designated Assessment Tool with IME Medical Services for all home and community based service (HCBS) waivers and the Area Agency on Aging Case Management Team for my HCBS elderly waiver services

• If you made the State of Iowa a remainder beneficiary on an annuity, in order to qualify for Medicaid payment of long-term care, the State of Iowa will get any benefits remaining in the annuity, up to the amount of Medicaid benefits paid.

INFORMATION FOR THOSE APPLYING FOR WIC OR MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH SERVICES • I understand that a declaration of income and persons in my family and living in my household is necessary to ensure that

federal and state funds are directed to those persons least able to secure services from other sources. • I understand that the Maternal and Child Health Director of the Iowa Department of Public Health, the WIC Director, or their

designees shall have access to all information available from records maintained by the agency providing maternal health, child health, or WIC services.

Updated 4/30/14

What is a burial contract?

A burial contract is an agreement with

a funeral home in which a person pre-

pays for funeral expenses.

How is a burial contract counted

in determining eligibility for

Medicaid?

There are some circumstances in

which a burial contract is not counted

as a resource for Medicaid. In order

to be excluded as a resource a prepaid

burial contract must be an irrevocable

contract and the applicant or member

must be unable to access the funds.

In addition there must be a contract

with a funeral home. In other words,

you must purchase something for

your money. You may not simply put

money in an irrevocable account. This

would be considered a transfer of

assets for less than fair market value

which results in a period of

ineligibility for Medicaid.

How can a burial contract be

funded?

A burial contract can be funded by a

number of ways. The most common

ways include assigning ownership of a

life insurance policy to a funeral

home, setting up a trust at a bank

which can be funded by a certificate of

deposit of another form.

If I have a burial contract what

information do I need to

provide?

If you have a burial contract you will

be asked to provide verification of the

contract to your Department of

Human Services IM worker.

If you have a life insurance policy

funding a burial contract you will

need to provide verification of the face

value and cash value of the life

insurance policy as well as verification

of the owner and beneficiary of the

policy.

If you have burial trusts, CDs, or other

funds set aside for your burial, you

will need to provide verification of the

value.

You must also provide a complete

copy of your burial contract that

indicates whether the contract is

revocable or irrevocable.

What amount can be funded for

burial?

The average cost of a funeral in Iowa

is $11,566. If the amount funding

your burial contract exceeds $11,566

you will need to provide a statement

of goods and services verifying what

was purchased. The Department will

also need to review the contract for

any possible transfer of assets.

What if I have questions?

If you have questions about what to

provide you can call the DHS facility

unit at 877-344-9628.
