GRH BASIS - GA-RELATED DRUG/ALCOHOL ADDCTN

ISSUE DATE: 10/2012

MFIP, WB, DWP, SNAP, MSA, GA:
No provisions.


GRH:
People with drug or alcohol addiction (DA&A) have a basis of eligibility for GRH. DA&A basis exists when alcohol or drug
addiction is a material factor that contributes to the client's disability. This means that if the client was to stop the addictive behavior, no disabling condition would remain.

DA&A must be verified through 1 of the following:

Termination of SSI/RSDI benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA) based on drug or alcohol addiction.

A SMRT determination that the client's disability is the result of continued drug or alcohol addiction.

A physician's certification that the client's disability is the result of continued drug or alcohol addiction. Use the Minnesota Department of Human Services Request for Medical Opinion (DHS-2114).


Follow the procedures in 0012.30 (Chemical Use Assessment) to determine if a client should be evaluated for chemical dependency.

After DA&A has been verified, enter “Y” on "Verified Material DA&A" field on the MAXIS DISA panel. MAXIS will send a DAIL message to change the eligibility basis to "Disability Based on DA&A".

Review the DA&A basis of eligibility at each recertification.
