Application for Benefits – Medicaid Buy­In for Children

About this program:

Medicaid Buy­In for Children can help pay medical bills for children with disabilities.

This program helps families who make too much money to get traditional Medicaid.

To get benefits:

The child must be age 18 or younger.

The child must meet the same rules for a disability that are used to get Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

If a parent’s employer pays at least half of the annual cost of health insurance, the parent must sign up and keep that insurance.

The family must meet income limits set by the program.

The family might have to pay a monthly fee.

How to apply:

1.Fill out this form. You can ask a friend or family member to help you.

2.Answer each question on the form. If a question does not apply to you, write “none” for the answer.

3.Sign and date Page 6.

4.Send copies of the following items (don’t send originals). We only need items that apply to your case.

Proof of money from a job: Pay stubs or earning statements.

Proof of money not from a job (veterans benefits, Social Security income, etc.): Award letters.

Medical costs: Bills or statements from health care providers (doctors, hospitals, drug stores, etc.) from the past 6 months.

How to send in your application and items we need:

Mail: Health and Human Services Commission, P.O. Box 14600, Midland, TX 79711­4600.

After we get your form, we will check to see if you can get benefits. Someone might contact you if we need more information. We will let you know the decision within 45 days.

Social Security Numbers

You only need to give the Social Security numbers (SSN) for people who want benefits. If you don't have an SSN, we can help you apply for one if you are a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant. Giving or applying for an SSN is voluntary; however, anyone who doesn't apply for an SSN or doesn't give an SSN can't get benefits.

We will not give your SSN to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. We will use SSNs to check the amount of money you get (income), if you can get benefits, and the amount of benefits you can get. You won't have to give SSNs for any family members who are not eligible because of immigration status and who are not asking for benefits. (42 C.F.R. 435.910)

10. Statement of understanding

Facts HHSC Has About You

In most cases, you can see and get facts HHSC has about you. This includes facts you give HHSC and facts HHSC gets from other sources (medical records, employment records, etc.). You might have to pay to get a copy of these facts. You can ask HHSC to fix anything that is wrong. You do not have to pay to fix a mistake. To ask for a copy or to fix a mistake, you can call 2­1­1 or your local HHSC benefits office.

I have been advised and understand that this application or redetermination will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, creed, national origin, age, sex, disability or political belief.

I have been advised and understand that I may request a review of the decision made on my application or redetermination for benefits and may request a fair hearing, orally or in writing, concerning any action or inaction affecting receipt or termination of assistance.

If my case is selected for review, I give my consent for HHSC to obtain information from any source to verify the statements I have made.

I understand that HHSC may give my name, address and phone number to telephone and electric utility companies to help them determine if I qualify for a reduction in my bills.

11.Penalty statement

My answers to all of the questions, and the statements I have made, are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

I understand that if I obtain or assist another person in obtaining, medical assistance by fraudulent means, I may be charged with a state or federal offense; and I may also be held liable for any repayment of benefits fraudulently obtained.

I will let HHSC know within 10 days of any changes that could affect my eligibility. This includes changes in income, living arrangement or insurance (including health insurance premiums).

12.Sign and date the form

I certify under penalty of perjury that the information I have provided on this application is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. If it is not, I may be subject to criminal prosecution.

Sign here if you are applying for benefits. Or if you are the authorized representative.

Common mistakes

  1. Missing Signatures: Ensure that you sign and date Page 6. An unsigned form will delay processing.

  2. Incomplete Information: Answer every question. If a question does not apply, write “none.” Leaving questions blank can lead to rejection.

  3. Incorrect Documentation: Only send copies of required documents. Originals are not needed and may get lost.

  4. Failing to Meet Income Limits: Double-check that your family's income meets the program's limits. Exceeding these limits will disqualify you.

  5. Not Providing Proof of Health Insurance: If a parent’s employer offers health insurance, that insurance must be maintained. Failing to enroll can affect eligibility.

  6. Incorrectly Reporting Child's Citizenship: Clearly indicate if the child is a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant. Inaccuracies can cause significant delays.

  7. Ignoring Additional Children: If there are more than two children applying, remember to add extra pages. Omitting children can lead to incomplete applications.

  8. Not Following Up: After submission, keep track of your application. If you don't hear back within 45 days, reach out for updates.

  9. Neglecting to Seek Help: If you have questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact an HHSC benefits office or call 2-1-1 for guidance.

Steps to Using Texas H1200 Mbic

Filling out the Texas H1200 Mbic form is an important step in applying for Medicaid Buy-In for Children. This program assists families with children who have disabilities but earn too much to qualify for traditional Medicaid. To ensure a smooth application process, follow the steps outlined below carefully.

  1. Begin by obtaining the Texas H1200 Mbic form. You can find it online or request a copy from your local benefits office.
  2. Fill in the child's information in the first section. Include the child's first name, middle initial, last name, and Social Security number. Indicate if the child is married, their home address, and contact numbers.
  3. Provide the child's birth date and gender. Confirm whether the child lives in Texas and plans to stay there.
  4. If the child is not a U.S. citizen, answer the questions regarding their immigration status. Provide the immigrant registration number if applicable.
  5. Next, indicate the child's race and ethnicity by marking the appropriate boxes.
  6. If more than one child is applying, repeat the process for each additional child in the designated section.
  7. Move on to the parents' information. Fill out the details for the first parent, including their name, Social Security number, and whether they live with the child.
  8. Answer questions about the first parent's job and health insurance. If applicable, provide the employer’s name and address, gross pay, and whether health insurance is available.
  9. If the second parent is involved, repeat the same process for them, filling out their information and job details.
  10. If the child has siblings living in the same household, provide their details in the designated section. Include their names, Social Security numbers, and employment information if applicable.
  11. Address any other health insurance coverage the child may have by answering the relevant questions and providing the necessary details.
  12. Indicate whether the child has medical bills from the past three months and prepare to submit copies of those bills along with proof of income.
  13. Finally, list any additional sources of income for the child and the parents or siblings living with them. Attach any necessary proof of income.
  14. Review the completed form for accuracy. Make sure all sections are filled out correctly.
  15. Sign and date Page 6 of the form.
  16. Gather copies of all required documents, ensuring you do not send originals.
  17. Submit your application via fax or mail to the appropriate address provided on the form.

Once your application is submitted, the review process will begin. You may be contacted for additional information if needed, and a decision will typically be communicated within 45 days. Remember, assistance is available if you have questions or need help during this process.
