Terminate RCA prospectively in the first 2 months of eligibility, retrospectively after the first 2 months when an RCA unit becomes ineligible due to increased income.

Terminate RCA if the unit fails to cooperate with RES requirements, or other eligibility requirements, or at the end of the 8-month eligibility period, whichever comes 1st.

Terminate RCA if a participant moves from a county-administered program to a VOLAG-administered program. For the correct procedures when a closing is due to a client moving from a county-administered program to a VOLAG-administered program, see 0030.27 (RCA – Moves Within the State).

Send the client a written notice of adverse action to suspend, reduce, or terminate assistance at least 10 days before the effective date of the proposed action. See 0030.24 (RCA/RES Appeals).

If RCA is terminated prior to the end of the 8-month eligibility period, Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA) continues for the remainder of the 8-month period. At the end of the 8-month RMA period, determine MA eligibility. Do not require a new application. Require verification of earnings if applicable. If there is no MA eligibility, review for MinnesotaCare eligibility, see the Minnesota Health Care Programs Eligibility Policy Manual.
