Delaware ASSIST Medicaid application and renewal implementation

What changed

Delaware ASSIST identifies itself as the online application for Delaware health and social-service programs and lists account actions including finishing applications, checking status, viewing notices, reporting changes, and renewing benefits. DSSM 14000 describes general Medicaid eligibility requirements, assistance channels for applications, protected filing-date rules, no interview for MAGI and long-term-care determinations, timely determination standards, annual renewal, ex parte renewal when possible, ASSIST/phone/mail/in-person/electronic reporting options, prepopulated renewal forms, a 30-day renewal response period, and a 90-day reconsideration period after renewal closure. DHSS forms and publications link Medicaid application materials and state-plan application and renewal sections.
