Part 101 - Coverage Groups and Processing Applications and Reviews Redetermination Processes
Chapter 1 - Coverage of the Categorically Needy in Mississippi
Rule 23-101-1.7 - Mandatory Coverage of Infants and Children under Age Nineteen (19)

A. Coverage is mandatory for infants to age one (1) in households whose income is at or below one hundred eighty-five percent (185%) of the federal poverty level (FPL) converted to a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) equivalent standard.

B. Coverage is mandatory for children age one (1) to age six (6) whose household income is at or below one hundred thirty-three percent (133%) of the FPL converted to a MAGI-equivalent standard.

C. Children age six (6) to age nineteen (19) are eligible for Medicaid if household income is at or below one hundred thirty-three percent (133%) of the FPL. This limit is not converted to a MAGI-equivalent standard since federal law specifies that one hundred thirty-three percent (133%) is the maximum limit.

D. The Division of Medicaid certifies eligibility for these age-specific groups of children.
