Definition

The reason for a complete loss/termination in an individual's eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP. The end date of the segment in which the value is reported must represent the date that the complete loss/termination of Medicaid and CHIP eligibility occurred. The reason for the termination represents the reason that the segment in which it was reported was closed. If for a single termination in eligibility for a single individual there are multiple distinct co-occurring values in the state's system explaining the reason for the termination, and if one of the multiple co-occurring values maps to T-MSIS ELIGIBILITY-CHANGE-REASON value '21' (Other) or '22' (Unknown), then the state should not report the co-occurring value '21' and/or '22' to T-MSIS. If there are multiple co-occurring distinct values between '01' and '19', then the state should choose whichever is first in the state's system. Of the values that could logically co-occur in the range of '01' through '19', CMS does not currently have a preference for any one value over another. Do not populate if at the time someone loses Medicaid eligibility they become eligible for and enrolled in CHIP. Also do not populate if at the time someone loses CHIP eligibility they become eligible for and enrolled in Medicaid.
