This form may be used as an application if received in the renewal month.

l  Combined Application Form (CAF) (DHS-5223)

The CAF is the annual renewal for people receiving cash assistance or SNAP. A person who is also receiving health care with these programs will be sent the CAF if the renewal date corresponds with the recertification date for SNAP and cash.

Contact the enrollee to request additional information if the CAF does not provide enough information to renew health care coverage.  

l  Renewal for People Receiving Long-Term Care Services (DHS-2128).

This is the form used to renew eligibility, both annually and at six months, for people residing in long-term care (LTC) facilities or receiving Elderly Waiver (EW) services. This includes LTC residents who receive MSA for personal needs and EW enrollees residing in GRH facilities and receiving GRH payments.

Note:  This renewal form is also used when all MHCP household members receive services through a CAC, CADI, DD or BI waiver. The DHS-3418 is sent to the household if there is a household member who is not receiving services through one of these waiver programs.

The DHS-2128 may be used as an application for MA, including payment of LTC services, if received in the renewal month.
