Revised SACA-2 fax number?

The revised SACA-2 application is now available (http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/docs/masshealth/membappforms/saca-2-english.pdf).  The fax number on the application (Fax: 617-887-8799) is different than the fax number on the MTF slides (1-857-887-8799).  I assume we should use the fax number on the application but can we get clarification?  Thanks!  Liz Sanchez Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers

DOR9RENEW Automatic Reviews

MassHealth upon release from jail

What is the recommended process to submit an application for an individual who is currently in jail or prison but will need health coverage (specifically MassHealth) upon release?  I know applications often get denied if they are submitted to far in advance of release so does anyone have tips or best practices for getting these applications processed?  Thanks!
