A code to classify eligible individual's marital/domestic-relationship status. This element should be reported by the state when the information is material to eligibility (i.e., institutionalization).
Because there is no specific statutory or regulatory basis for defining marital status codes, they are being defined in a way that is as flexible for states and data users as possible. States can report at whatever level of granularity is available to them in their system and a data user can choose to use them as-is or roll the values up in broader categories depending on whichever approach best meets their needs. CMS periodically reviews the values reported to MARITAL-STATUS-OTHER-EXPLANATION to determine if states are appropriately using it only when there is no existing MARITAL-STATUS value that reflects the state�s marital status description for an individual AND to determine whether it is necessary to add additional T-MSIS MARITAL-STATUS values to reflect commonly used state martial status descriptions for which there is no existing T-MSIS MARITAL-STATUS value. |
