Summary
Michigan Medicaid is updating its asset eligibility policy to align with federal SSI guidelines, limiting individuals to only one homestead property as their principal residence instead of allowing multiple homesteads. This change affects patient eligibility determination for SSI-Related Medicaid programs.
Action Required
By August 1, 2023: Front desk and eligibility verification staff should be aware that Michigan Medicaid patients can only have one homestead property for eligibility purposes when verifying coverage. This may affect some patients' Medicaid eligibility status, so verify active coverage before appointments.
