MassHealth and Commonwealth Connector 
Redetermination Eligibility Review Rules

This is the law:
956 CMR 3.00
Section 3.08 Eligibility Review

(1) The Connector or its designee may review eligibility every 12 months. Eligibility may also be reviewed more frequently as a result of an Enrollee’s change in circumstances, or a change in Commonwealth Care eligibility rules. The Connector or its designee updates the case file based on information received as the result of such review. The Connector reviews eligibility:
(a) by information matching with other agencies, health insurance carriers, and information sources as set forth in 956 CMR 3.06; 
(b) through a written update of the Enrollee's circumstances on a prescribed form; and
(c) based on information in the Enrollee’s case file.

(2) The Connector determines, as a result of this review, if:
(a) the Enrollee continues to be eligible for Commonwealth Care;
(b) the Enrollee’s current circumstances require a change in the Coverage Type, or Enrollee Premium Contribution; or
(c) the Enrollee is no longer eligible for Commonwealth Care.

(3) The Connector or its designee will notify the Enrollee if there is a change in the Enrollee’s Coverage Type or Enrollee Premium Contribution, or a change in Enrollee’s eligibility.

(4) In the event of a determination that the Enrollee is no longer eligible, the Enrollee will be sent a notice of termination at least 14 days before the termination occurs.
