Is QSR eliminated for Transitional Medi-Cal Coverage (TMC) cases?
ANSWER 1: ACWDL 00-64 does not affect TMC. Federal law still requires a status report for TMC persons. Persons in Aid Code 39 receive a status report and must return it in the fourth month in order to continue to be determined eligible for the second six months (Aid Code 59). Persons in Aid Code 59 must continue to report. Senate Bill 87 eliminated TMC reporting in the second year State-only program, effective January 1,2001 (ACWDL 01-02). QUESTION 2: Aid Code 39 applies to eligible TMC recipients in the first six months of aid. The second six months if aid is contingent upon quarterly reporting of the first months. Since the first year of TMC is a Federal program, does ACWDL 00-64 apply to the first year of TMC? ANSWER 2: No. Quarterly reporting still applies.
