Attachment(s):
The proposed rule change would update Section 2, APPLICATION PROCESS, consistent with a legislative change to 22 M.R.S. § 3174-LLL made by P.L. 2023, ch. 412. Effective retroactive to July 1, 2024, individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid and/or Medicare Buy-In (MSP), who are eligible for Medicare Part D, and meet the income criteria in Section 2.2, are deemed to be eligible for and enrolled in DEL. These individuals do not need to file a separate application.
In addition, the proposed rule would make the following changes:
- “10-144” would replace the “MaineCare Eligibility Manual” throughout the rule.
- “Noncitizen” would replace “alien” and “noncitizens” would replace “aliens” throughout the rule.
- Section 1 “their” would replace “his/her” control.
- Section 1(III)(B)(3) “United” would replace “Unites.”
The proposed rule changes would be retroactive to July 1, 2024. Retroactive rulemaking is permissible under 22 M.R.S. § 42(8) as these updates provide a benefit to recipients and applicants.
