Unborn children are continuously eligible up to six months or through their month of birth, whichever comes first. After the six months of continuous eligibility, a full eligibility review is not required. However, information reported or known to the Department must be acted upon.
Note: The unborn must have at least a 30 day period of ineligibility before they would qualify for another six month period of continuous eligibility.
Following the birth of the child, eligibility will be determined for medical assistance based on any changes reported or known to the Department.
Note: Following the birth, if the newborn is determined eligible for medical assistance, the newborn is eligible for six months of continuous medical eligibility.
