4-003.01 Six Months' Continuous Eligibility

469 NAC 4-003.01

Children from birth through age 18 are eligible for six months of continuous Medicaid unless:

1. The child turns 19 within the 6 months;

2. The child moves out of state;

3. The worker determines that the original eligibility was based on erroneous or incomplete information;

4. The child dies; or

5. The child enters an ineligible living arrangement (see 477 NAC 2-008.01).

No income or resource review is required.

Disabled children who turn 18 during the six-month period should have their program changed to AABD.

For budgeting after the six months’ continuous Medicaid, see 477 NAC 1-010.01.
