I understand that I could be penalized if I knowingly give false information. I understand that all information I give is confidential and federal and state laws limit disclosure of information about me. I understand and agree to give proof of my statements. I understand and agree that the Department of Health and Social Services may contact other persons or organizations to obtain the necessary proof of my eligibility. I must give the Social Security Number for each person applying and it will be used to check records with other government agencies. The Division of Social Services also asks me to give the Social Security Number of anyone whose income is used to determine my eligibility. Nonlawful aliens are not required to give a Social Security Number. I understand that this application will be considered without regard to race, color, sex, age, disability, religion, national origin, or political belief. I understand that I must apply for and accept other benefits that I may be eligible to get such as Unemployment Compensation or Social Security. I will allow the Department of Health and Social Services, or its representatives, to act as my agent in recovering money spent by the medical assistance programs when other money from insurance, etc., becomes available to pay my medical bills. I may have to repay to the Division of Social Services any medical assistance received for which I am not entitled. My obligation to repay such assistance applies both during my period of eligibility and after I am no longer receiving medical assistance. As required by law as conditions of eligibility, I assign all rights to medical support and to payment for medical care from any third party to the Division of Social Services, and I understand I must cooperate with the Division of Child Support Enforcement in establishing paternity and obtaining medical support for any child receiving medical assistance. I understand that pregnant women are not required to cooperate in establishing paternity and obtaining medical support and that I may claim to have good cause for refusing to cooperate in establishing paternity or in identifying and providing information about liable third parties. I understand that as a medical assistance recipient, I will automatically receive full child support services from the Division of Child Support Enforcement, unless I state that I want to receive only child support services related to medical support. I understand that if I am a Medicaid or Delaware Healthy Children Program applicant or recipient I have the right to a fair hearing if I am not satisfied with any decision made about my eligibility. I understand that I may be represented by an attorney or any other person I choose. I agree to allow the Department of Health and Social Services, directly or through its agents or the Diamond State Health Plan or the Delaware Healthy Children Program, to have access to all medical and school-based health and related services records of every member of my household who is eligible for medical assistance in order to administer the medical assistance program, coordinate care, determine medical necessity, and evaluate or pay for pending or incurred medical services. I certify, under penalty of perjury, that I am a U.S. Citizen or alien in lawful immigration status. I must give proof of lawful immigration status and it will be checked with Immigration and Naturalization Service. Nonlawful alien status will not be checked. This will not affect any public charge determination or lead to deportation proceedings. Nonlawful aliens may be eligible for emergency services and labor and delivery only. I agree to report within 10 days changes in my situation that could affect my eligibility, such as a change in how many people live with me, a new job or change in income, or if I move. This application must be signed by an adult household member (age 18 or over) or by an emancipated minor (under age 18). I have received the “Rights and Responsibilities” and understand what it means. ___________________________________________________ __________ Signature of Applicant or Representative Date ___________________________________________________ __________ Signature of DSS Worker Date DELAWARE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES DIVISION OF SOCIAL SERVICES Remember to sign and date your application.
