It is the parent’s responsibility to see that the information is provided. Enclose a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope for the Document Processing Center.

Staff may also need to send the form to the parent if the Form H1200-MBIC, Application for Benefits – Medicaid Buy-In for Children, employment section is checked "no," but information and verification of employment and employment-related health insurance was not provided.

If it is necessary for staff to send Form H1028-MBIC to the employer, provide a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope for the Document Processing Center.
