(a) Any person who believes he or she and his or her children are eligible for AFDC-related Medicaid shall be given the opportunity to apply without delay. Applicants shall be informed by the CWA about the eligibility requirements and their rights and obligations in applying for and receiving assistance. The decision to apply rests with the applicant. The applicant has the right to withdraw the application before eligibility or ineligibility has been determined.

If an applicant is eligible, a Health Benefits Identification (HBID) Card and/or HBID Emergency Services Letter shall be issued as eligibility is established. The agency's standards of promptness for acting on applications or redetermining eligibility shall not be a basis for delay in granting AFDC-related Medicaid.

(c) This subchapter describes briefly the steps followed by the eligibility determination worker in determining an applicant's eligibility to receive AFDC-related Medicaid.
