1 WHAT IF MY CASEWORKER WON'T CALL ME BACK? Sometimes it is difficult for people who get benefits from DHS to reach their caseworker. There are many times when it is very important to reach a caseworker; in order to report changes in income or other information on time. At other times, you may need additional information from your caseworker. Here are some tips if you are having trouble reaching your caseworker: 1. Leave a message telling your caseworker why you are calling them. When you leave a message, speak your name, phone number and case number clearly. Try to keep it brief. Keep track of the dates and times you have called DHS. Do not leave more than one message per day, unless you must provide new information. 2. If you have tried to call a couple times, wait 48 hours for a call back. If the message is urgent, call the caseworker's supervisor. You can get their phone number by contacting your local office. If the supervisor will not call you back, call the supervisor's supervisor. When you call, let them know your name, case number, who your caseworker is, and the dates and times you have tried to reach the caseworker. 3. Write the caseworker a letter or an (and include the information you are trying to give him/her). In the letter or , tell the caseworker how many times you called and left messages and why you are trying to contact them. Be direct, be specific, and be polite. If there is a deadline, you may need to take the letter to DHS in person, rather than mailing or ing it. Make a photocopy of the letter or other papers; keep the original. If you , keep a copy of what you sent. Date and sign the letter. Put your case number on the letter or and on any other papers you drop off or attach to an . When you leave the letter or any other information at the DHS office, be sure to sign the logbook ifthere is one (located in the DHS lobby). Your caseworker's address is the Specialist ID (located on top right of your notices from DHS) followed 4. IfDHS has asked you to return information or papers by a specific date but you do not have everything they want, be sure to submit what you can, but also give DHS a note asking for additional time or help in getting the missing information or verification. Always give DHS as much as you can ON TIME, and ask for help. Produced by Center for Civil Justice 2014

2 5. Request a hearing in writing if you disagree with action taken by DHS or DHS has delayed action on your case and missed a legal deadline for action. You can use the DHS form for this, or simply write a note saying, "I request a hearing" and tell what you want the hearing about (such as "denial of Medical Assistance"). Put the date and your case number on the hearing request, and sign your name. Mail or bring it to DHS. Make sure it is directed to the "hearing coordinator," not your caseworker. Do not a hearing request. IfDHS is cutting or stopping benefits or services, you must request a hearing by the date stated in your notice (usually 10 days after the notice was mailed) to keep benefits going while you wait for a hearing. You must make sure DHS receives your hearing request within 90 days of the day that DHS mailed a notice denying, stopping, or reducing any benefit or service to you. 6. If you need benefits or services that you do not currently receive (for example, you receive Food Stamps and need Medicaid), go online or to the DHS office and apply. Do not delay. In general, the sooner you apply, the sooner you will receive benefits. 7. If both the caseworker and the supervisors do not return your calls, or you believe the worker and supervisor have made a mistake in applying policy in your case, call ASK MICH: (855) Be ready to give them your DHS case number and prepare to be on hold. Ask them to call you back if this is long distance for you. They can access your case information. Remember: Do not delay asking for a hearing if you have a hearing deadline coming up. *Remember that if you are helping someone, DHS caseworkers are not supposed to talk to anyone about someone else's case unless that person has signed a form giving DHS permission to release information about his or her case. OTHER RESOURCES: Ml Department of Community Health: Beneficiary Helpline (800) or Customer Service (517) ASK MICH: (855) (at DHS Central Office) Your Local DHS Office Supervisors and District Office Manager or County Director. Look in your phone book under State of Michigan listings. Online information is at (Click on Inside DHS/County Offices) Apply for Medical Assistance benefits (you can also check the status of your Food Assistance benefits and report changes) To find your local legal services/legal aid office (legal help at no cost to you if you are low income)- (Click on Organizations & Courts/Find a Lawyer) Produced by Center for Civil Justice 2014

3 WAS YOUR MEDICAID CANCELLED OR DENIED. You can appeal the decision! Medicaid is a complicated program, so it is easy for case workers to make mistakes. If you are denied Medicaid or your Medicaid stops, you have the right to appeal. Many people win on appeal and keep their medical coverage. To challenge a Medicaid decision: 1. GET IT IN WRITING! Ask for a written notice. The notice will tell you why your Medicaid ended or why you were denied Medicaid. 2. REQUEST A HEARING! If you don't like the decision, you have the right to a hearing. During the hearing you can challenge the reason for the cancellation or denial. The written notice will explain how to appeal. Follow the instructions very carefully. Your request must be in writing and have your original signature on it. It must be received at the DHS office before the deadline. Do not fax your hearing request. Make a copy of your hearing request for yourself. If the notice does not tell how to appeal, get legal help. Use the back of this page to request a hearing. 3 ACf QUICKLY! File a request for a hearing as soon as possible. If you wait more than 90 days you will lose your right to a hearing. If you have been receiving Medicaid, Healthy Michigan Plan or Healthy Kids and DHS receives your hearing request within 11 days of the notice that medical coverage has been terminated, your Medicaid will continue until a hearing decision is announced. 4 GET LEGAL HELP! Most legal aid and legal services programs handle Medicaid and cash assistance cases. They do not charge a fee. To find your local legal services or legal aid office, call the State Bar Lawyer referral number at 1(Boo) , check online at or look in the yellow pages under "attorneys".

Date Received in MDHHS Program(s) in Dispute If you do not agree with any decision made by MDHHS to deny, reduce or terminate benefits, you have the right to request a hearing. In most cases, if you receive a notice reducing or canceling your benefits and you request a hearing no more than 11 days after the date the action will take place, your benefits will continue until the hearing is decided. Although, if the MDHHS decision to deny, reduce or terminate your benefits is upheld, you will be required to repay any additional benefits received because the action was postponed. Someone else may represent you at the hearing, such as a friend, relative, or lawyer. Hearings will be conducted by telephone unless an inperson hearing is requested. To Ask for a Hearing: A request for an administrative hearing must be made in writing and signed by you or someone authorized to act on your behalf. For convenience, MDHHS provides a hearing request form that you should bring or mail to your MDHHS office (no faxes or photocopies). For FAP (food assistance) only, you can request a hearing verbally, in person or by telephone. Except for FAP, the hearing request must be signed by you or by your parent, attorney, court appointed guardian or conservator, or by someone else you formally designate as your Authorized Hearing Representative. For Medicaid only, a spouse may sign a written request for a hearing without first being designated an Authorized Hearing Representative. Appointment of an Authorized Hearing Representative: The appointment of an authorized hearing representative must be made in writing and signed by you before that person can make a hearing request, or take any other action on your behalf. The Hearing request will be denied if it is signed by a person not authorized by law, court order, or a signed statement from you. Your Hearing Request will be Denied if: We receive your request more than 90 days after we mail the notice to deny, terminate, or reduce your benefits. The person who signed the hearing request cannot show a court order or a signed statement from you, and is not your lawyer, spouse or parent. Persons with Disabilities or Needing Special Arrangements: Special arrangements at the hearing can be made to accommodate a physical disability or other barrier to participation that you or someone participating with you needs.
