MSIS_CASE_NUM
The state-assigned number which uniquely identifies the Medicaid case to which the enrollee belongs; most recent in the calendar and all prior years.
The definition of a case varies. There are single-person cases (mostly aged and blind/disabled) and multi-person cases (mostly TANF) in which all members of the case have the same case number, but a unique MSIS identification number. A warning for longitudinal research efforts: a person’s case number may change over time.
