The reliable data sources include, but are not limited to:
Mail returned to the authority and the department by the United States postal service with a forwarding address;
The national change of address database maintained by the United States postal service;
The managed care organizations or prepaid inpatient health plan or prepaid ambulatory health plan that administer or deliver services purchased or contracted for by the authority for the purposes of the medical assistance program under this chapter if the address information is provided to the organizations or plans directly from, or verified by the organizations or plans directly with, the enrolled individual; and
Any other data sources that have been identified by the authority and approved by the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services.

The social security number of the individual, if the individual has a social security number and is required to provide such number to enroll in medical assistance under this chapter; and
Any other information with respect to the individual that has been determined necessary by the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services for the purposes of preventing individuals from simultaneously being enrolled in medical assistance programs in multiple states.
In the case that the authority is notified that an individual enrolled or seeking to enroll in medical assistance in the state is already enrolled in medical assistance in another state, the authority shall take appropriate action to identify whether the individual resides in the state and disenroll the individual from medical assistance if the individual does not reside in the state, unless the individual meets certain exceptions as outlined by the federal centers for medicare and medicaid services.
The authority shall adopt rules necessary to implement this section.

All net recoveries from premiums paid for concurrent enrolled individuals must be deposited into the supporting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education account.
