The client, an ADC grant recipient, gives birth on October 28. Mom has never reported that she was pregnant and the worker learns of the birth in the local newspaper. Medicaid eligibility for the newborn begins with the first day of the month in which the agency learned of the birth. The newborn’s needs cannot be added to the ADC grant (due to the Family Cap) unless the birth occurs less than 10 months from the date of the initial face-to-face interview for ADC.
