1423  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 closure/suspension and all other eligibility requirements are met.  However, coverage shall be reinstated back to the date of discontinuance when loss of coverage was due to whereabouts unknown (see 9124) and confirmation of whereabouts is received prior to the end of the review period, unless there is a reported change in circumstances that will impact eligibility.  Information that becomes known to the agency must be acted upon in accordance with 1323.

A new application is not required for reinstatement purposes unless the current review has expired.  However, if the review form is returned within the three month reconsideration period (see 9350), the form can be used to redetermine eligibility.

1424 Termination of Assistance - Case closures will always be effective the last day of a given month. To protect credibility with medical providers, the termination date may not be changed after issuance of a medical coverage. However, the date of death will be used for a deceased individual since there are no eligible services after that date.
