SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Medical assistance; asset verification; financial institutions may provide records. Requires the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) to establish an electronic financial record matching program for the purpose of verifying the assets of applicants for and recipients of medical assistance for (i) individuals applying for or receiving medical assistance as aged, blind, or disabled and (ii) individuals for whom an assets test is required to determine the applicant's or recipient's eligibility for medical assistance. Upon determining that financial records of an individual for whom a resource test is required are required in connection with a determination or redetermination of eligibility for medical assistance or the amount of medical assistance, DMAS or its agent may request financial records of the individual from a financial institution. The bill authorizes financial institutions doing business in the Commonwealth to provide financial records of an individual for whom a resource test is required to DMAS or its agent, upon receipt of such request. Financial institutions are provided immunity from civil or criminal liability with respect to their provision of such information. DMAS is required to reimburse financial institutions for their actual costs when complying with the requirements of this measure. The bill has an expiration date of July 1, 2017.
