  Question
  What obligations do drug card sponsors have in the screening process for transitional assistance?
  Answer
  As part of the enrollment process, drug card sponsors are required to screen applicants for transitional assistance once the sponsor has received a completed enrollment form for the drug card and transitional assistance. The sponsors ensure that the form is complete and that based on the information submitted, the beneficiary meets the requirements for transitional assistance. CMS then verifies the information provided about the beneficiary’s income.
