Rule 441-95.18 - Continued services available to canceled family investment program (FIP) or Medicaid recipients

Support services shall automatically be provided to persons who were eligible to receive support services as recipients of FIP or Medicaid and who were canceled from FIP or Medicaid. Continued support services shall not be provided to a person who has been canceled from FIP or Medicaid when a claim of good cause, as defined at 441-Chapter 41 or 441-Chapter 75, as appropriate, was valid at the time assistance was canceled or when one of the reasons for termination of services, listed at rule 441-95.14 (252B), applies to the case.

Support services shall be provided to eligible persons without application or application fee, but subject to applicable enforcement fees.

(1)Notice of services. When a family is no longer eligible for public assistance, the department shall forward Form 470-1981 to the family's last-known address within five working days of the notification of ineligibility, to inform the family of the following:

a. That, unless the family notifies the department to the contrary, services will continue.

b. Of the effect of continuing to receive support services, including the available services and the state's policies on fees, cost recovery, and distribution.

(2)Termination of services. A person may request the department to terminate support services at any time by the completion and return of the appropriate portion of Form 470-1981, or in any other form of written communication, to the child support recovery unit.

Continued support services may be terminated at any time for any of the reasons listed in rule 441-95.14 (252B).

(3)Reapplication for services. A person whose services were denied or terminated may reapply for services under this chapter by completing the application process described in subrule 95.2(4).

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 252B.4.
