TERMS, RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

By completing and signing this application, I am applying for the Family Planning Benefit Program (FPBP).  I agree to the release of personal and financial information from this application and any other information needed to determine eligibility.  I understand that I may be asked for more information.  I agree to immediately report any changes to the information on this application.

I understand that I must provide the information needed to prove my eligibility.  If I have been unable to get the information, I will tell the social services district.  The social services district may be able to help in getting the information.

I understand the FPBP may check the information given by me for this application.  The state, social services district and provider who assist in completing this application will keep this information confidential according to 42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(7) and 42 CFR 431.300-431.307, and any federal and state laws and regulations.

I understand that my eligibility for this program will not be affected by my race, color, disability, sex, or national origin.  I also understand that depending on the requirements of this program, my age or citizen status may be a factor in whether or not I am eligible.

I understand that anyone who knowingly lies or hides the truth in order to receive services under this program is committing a crime and subject to federal and state penalties and may have to repay the amount of benefits received and be given civil penalties.

ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS FOR MEDICAL SUPPORT AND THIRD PARTY PAYMENT

I understand that FPBP does not pay medical expenses that insurance or another person is supposed to pay, unless there is good cause not to use other insurance.  All persons applying for FPBP are required to give to the Medicaid agency any rights they may have to medical support or other insurance payments for family planning services.  When I sign this application for myself, or for another person for whom I can legally give away rights, I am giving to the Medicaid agency all of my rights to receive medical support and third party payments for family planning for the entire time I am on Medicaid.

REIMBURSEMENT OF MEDICAL EXPENSES

I understand that I have a right as part of my FPBP application to request reimbursement of expenses I paid for covered family planning services and supplies received during the three month period prior to the month of my application, but no earlier than October 1, 2002.  After the date of my application, reimbursement of covered family planning services and supplies will only be available if obtained from Medicaid-enrolled providers.

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (SSN)

I understand that I must give my SSN in order to receive FPBP.  This is required by section 1137(a) of the Social Security act and the Medicaid regulations (42 CFR 435.910 and 42 U.S.C. 1320b-7(a)).  The FPBP will use the SSN to verify my income, eligibility, and the amount of medical assistance payments made on my behalf.  The information may be matched with the records in other agencies, such as the Social Security Administration or the internal Revenue Service.

CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT

All of the information you provide to use will remain confidential.  The only people who will see this information are the state or local agencies and the person assisting you in completing the application who need to know this information in order to determine if you are eligible.  The person helping you with this application cannot discuss the information with anyone, except a supervisor or the state or local agencies that need this information.


I certify that I am a U.S. Citizen or national, or an alien with satisfactory immigration status. The social services district can assist me in determining my status if I request help.

Date:____________________________  Applicant's Signature:_______________________________________________

Immigration information: The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has said that enrollment in Medicaid CANNOT affect a person's ability to get a green card, become a citizen, sponsor a family member, or travel in and out of the country (except if Medicaid pays for long term care in a place like a nursing home or psychiatric hospital). The State will not report any information on this application to the INS.


I certify that I have read and understand the Terms, Rights and Responsibilities above. I certify under penalty of perjury that everything on this application is the truth as best I know.
