HB 2092 Application for public assistance; eligibility, review of records

About HB-2092

Application for public assistance; eligibility; review of records. Requires entities processing applications for medical assistance and other public assistance to conduct a review of death records and records relating to incarceration status, employment status, and income of the applicant to determine whether the applicant is eligible for assistance and to review the records of the Virginia Lottery to determine whether the applicant has received any winnings from the Virginia Lottery that may constitute income or resources for purposes of determining eligibility for medical assistance or public assistance. The bill also requires the Department of Social Services to report annually on the types and sources of information reviewed in verifying eligibility and the number of applications for public assistance approved, denied, or referred for investigation.
