A Dear Commissioner Letter (DCL), issued May 23, 2005, advised local
departments of social services (LDSSs) of the steps they must take to ensure appropriate handling of multiple CINs for the same recipient. The DCL explained the steps to be taken by the LDSS to unduplicate multiple CINs identified by the State or a managed care plan for the same recipient, to ensure enrollment in the appropriate managed care plan for the surviving CIN, and to identify any appropriate amounts for recovery from managed care plans.
The DCL advised that the LDSS shall send a discontinuance notice to the
recipient when an existing CIN is being deleted. Initially, these notices
will be manual notices; automated notices will be available as soon as they
can be programmed.
