The new version of the form includes a section for requesting duplicate member ID linking as well as requests for resetting a members ID indicator. This eliminates the need to use the MMIS Duplicate Member ID Link Request form (032-03-0991-04-eng ) and the MMIS Reset ID Card Indicator Request form (form number 032-03-0993-02- eng ). As a result, both of these forms will be removed from the SPARK page.
