The client, a single parent with two children, is currently on MED. She and her two children receive $375 a month child support. She reports that she is pregnant and provides written verification that the third trimester will begin the first day of next month. The worker pends an ADC/MED program case with the unborn included as a participant. Because the Family Cap only applies to receipt of ADC cash assistance, and this family has not received ADC cash, the unborn is not subject to the Family Cap and the family is potentially eligible for an ADC grant beginning with the first day of the third trimester, when the unborn will meet the definition of a “dependent child” for ADC grant purposes.
