Guidance for : During the course of our review of State Medicaid programs nationwide, we identified several areas where State Medicaid and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families eligibility and enrollment processes presented barriers to applicants and recipients or resulted in erroneous Medicaid denials and terminations. One area that we have identified is cases that are terminated when families move from one county to another county within their State of residence.
