At what age should a person apply for IL Medicaid when waiting on the PUNS for adult waiver funding?  \nA. Many children in Illinois are enrolled in Medicaid. If you were enrolled in Medicaid (All Kids) as a child age 18 or younger, apply for Adult Medicaid at age 18 and e-mail [Jennifer.Frescura@Illinois.gov](Jennifer.Frescura@Illinois.gov) for assistance in transitioning to adult Medicaid. Share the applicant’s D.O. B., Social Security number (SSN), RIN or confirmation \\# of online Medicaid application) . NOTE: Children enrolled in All Kids age 18 turning 19 will remain in All Kids until the end of the public health emergency (PHE) . There will be no gap in coverage. Transition to adult Medicaid is not happening during the PHE. Individuals will receive a Medicaid redetermination notice sometime after the PHE is lifted.  \nIf you have never been enrolled in Medicaid, are 18 and have SSI, apply at age 18. [https://abe.illinois.gov/abe/access/](https://abe.illinois.gov/abe/access/ If)[ If](https://abe.illinois.gov/abe/access/ If) no SSI at age 18 or older you may have to share medical records to show disability. You can use a written application and attach medical records-see link to written application below. (Note: Apply for SSI first: [https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/ssi](https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/ssi) )  \nQ: Who should I reach out to after getting the DHS early notice of a PUNS selection or the DHS PUNS selection with questions about applying for Medicaid or assisting an adult son/daughter with applying?  \nA: Your Independent Service Coordination (ISC) agency. Find your ISC here: [https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?module=12&officetype=3](https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?module=12&officetype=3) Choose Developmental Disability Services in the drop down menu.  \nQ: As a parent, do I have to include my income and my spouse’s income when I assist my adult son/daughter with their Medicaid application?  \nA: This is determined by the MAGI Rules-if someone applies for Medicaid and is a dependent on someone else’s tax return, regardless of their age, the income of all household members must be divulged.

If you are found ineligible for IL Medicaid as over-income, but have SSI, the application will be re-processed under Aid to the Aged, Blind and Disabled (AABD) . (This is the reason we suggest applying for SSI first) .  \nQ: As a parent, a relative or friend of an individual with a developmental disability, can I help with the IL Medicaid application?  \nA: Yes. You must complete an approved representative form. See: [http://www.dhs.state.il.us/onenetlibrary/12/documents/Forms/IL444-2998-IES.pdf](http://www.dhs.state.il.us/onenetlibrary/12/documents/Forms/IL444-2998-IES.pdf) If you are a guardian, attach a copy of legal guardianship to the 2998 form. When completing the application online, upload the guardianship order and complete the approved representative document.  \nQ: If I cannot verify identity through the online Medicaid application, how do I verify identity?  \nA: Use the State Identify Proofing Request Form:–see list of documents that will suffice:  \n[http://www.dhs.state.il.us/onenetlibrary/12/documents/Forms/IL444-3610.pdf](http://www.dhs.state.il.us/onenetlibrary/12/documents/Forms/IL444-3610.pdf)  \n[Q:](Q: Where can I get information about Medicaid spend down and pay-in spend down?)[ Where can I get information about Medicaid spend down and pay-in spend down?](Q: Where can I get informa","cbCaijvrw6p7Cr8l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijvrw6p7Cr8l","pdf",163435,"English","# IL Medicaid General Q & A (2022)\n## Applying age and transitioning coverage\n## Contacting support after PUNS selection\n## MAGI income reporting and eligibility pathways\n## Authorized representatives and identity verification","[{\"question\":\"Who should be contacted after receiving DHS early notice or DHS PUNS selection with questions about applying for Medicaid?\",\"answer\":\"This depends on the MAGI Rules.
