Retroactive Onset Dates
For SSI recipients who request three months retroactive Medi-Cal coverage, the EW must request a disability onset date.
- The EW must send the “Referral of Applicant to SSA” (SCD 169) to Social Security to request the disability onset date.
- If the onset date provided by SSA is later than the month(s) of request for retroactive Medi-Cal coverage, the EW must initiate a new referral by completing a full DDSD packet.
Reminder: The “Retro-onset” box on Item 8 of the MC 221 must be checked.
