This information will not be released except as permitted or required by law or with the consent of the applicant.

    Please enter in the following format: XX/XX/XXXX. You do not need to add a zero at the beginning of single digit months or days.

    Does the applicant currently have Medicaid?

    The applicant is not required to have a Medicaid number to apply for BDS services. Select "Yes" if the applicant has a Medicaid number.

    What is the applicant's Medicaid number?

    A Medicaid number is also known as a RID which means Recipient Identification. This is a 12-digit client identification number and is found on the Medicaid card issued to the applicant. If the applicant does not have or does not know this number, leave this blank and move to the next question.
