F-110 Age and Relationship MS Manual 07/01/2026

Most Health Care eligibility groups have an age range in which the individual must fall to become eligible for coverage in that particular group. ARKids A and ARKids B also require a relationship and living with a specified relative requirement. To be eligible for ARKids A or B, a child must be living with a relative who is within the following degrees of relationship to the child: 1. A blood or adoptive relative who is within the fifth degree of kinship. Such relatives by degree of kinship are as follows: First degree – Parent; Second degree – Grandparent, sibling; Third degree – Great-grandparent, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece; Fourth degree – Great-great grandparent, great-uncle, great-aunt, first cousin; and Fifth degree – Great-great-great grandparent, great-great uncle, great-great aunt, first cousin once removed (that being, the children of one’s first cousin). NOTE: Half-relationships will be considered the same as full relationships. 2. Stepfather, stepmother, stepbrother, stepsister. 3. Spouses of any persons named in the above groups. Such relatives may be considered within the scope of this provision though the marriage is terminated by death or divorce.
