Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards

12:50 pm

Mr. Patrick Burke:

When we confer eligibility on a person, he or she will remain eligible until his or her case is reviewed. We can review at any point in time or on a designated date. A person will remain eligible until his or her review date. When someone is found no longer to be eligible, his or her eligibility ceases.
