Section 10:69-2.6 - Eligibility for AFDC-related Medicaid

(a) Eligibility for AFDC-related Medicaid is based upon certain criteria such as age, relationship, residence in the State, alien status and upon other criteria relevant to each segment.

(b) Eligibility for the AFDC-C-related Medicaid segment is based on financial need and deprivation of parental support and care by reason of mental or physical incapacity, absence or death of one or both parents.

(c) Eligibility for the AFDC-F segment is based on financial need when both parents are in the home, neither is incapacitated and the parent who is the principal earner meets the Federal definition of unemployment.

(d) All AFDC-F clients shall be advised that their eligibility for these segments is based on the fact that there are two parents who are not incapacitated in the home and that, if a parent dies, becomes incapacitated or leaves the household, this fact should be brought to the attention of their eligibility worker so that an application for AFDC-C-related Medicaid and/or referral to SSI can be considered.

(e) Income standards for persons eligible under the AFDC-C-related and-F-related Medicaid appear at N.J.A.C. 10:69-10.3.
