Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) When a family receiving Medicaid based on the July 16, 1996 AFDC income standards and methodologies loses Medicaid eligibility primarily as a result of the collection of child or spousal support through the Child Support and Paternity process, Medicaid eligibility shall be extended for a period of four calendar months beginning with the month in which such ineligibility commences. Children may remain eligible for extended Medicaid until the attainment of age 18, or if a full-time student in secondary or vocational school, until the month of graduation or the attainment of age 19, whichever is first. Any child who is about to become ineligible due to age shall be evaluated for potential eligibility under other components of the Medicaid program.
