23 Miss. Code. R. 102-4.2 - Exceptions to the Enumeration for Applicants

A. There are four (4) exceptions to the enumeration requirement for Medicaid applicants:

1. Non-qualified aliens applying for Emergency Medicaid services only do not have to provide a Social Security Number or provide proof of an application for a number as a condition of eligibility for emergency benefits.

2. The requirement is postponed for deemed eligible children until the first redetermination.

3. The Social Security Administration (SSA) does not issue SSN's to deceased individuals. The enumeration requirement is applicable if the SSN was issued prior to death.

4. The enumeration requirement may be waived for an applicant who, because of well-established religious objections, refuses to obtain a Social Security Number. The specialist will obtain the applicant's written statement which includes his religious affiliation and reasons for objecting to the requirement. The statement will be forwarded to the state office for final determination.
