Powerpoint presented by NYS DOH to Statewide Senior Action Council on Jan. 30, 2024. Webinar recording at https://vimeo.com/907908380. See http://health.wnylc.com/health/entry/251/ about the expansion effective Jan. 1, 2024 that gives nearly full Medicaid coverage to all immigrants age 65+.

The purpose of this Medicaid Alert is to inform client representatives, hospitals and other community based organizations that beginning October 1, 2010, Puerto Rican birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010 will no longer be able to be used to prove United States citizenship. However, they may continue to be submitted with Medicaid/Family Health Plus applications. Medicaid will do a cross-check with Social Security to verify proof of birth in Puerto Rico. Agencies that work with people born in Puerto Rico are urged to help client's apply for new birth certificates.
