Ongoing Eligibility

Once 4MEx eligibility is established, the AU does not have to continue to receive spousal support in each of the four months to remain eligible.

If an A/R loses 4MEx because he/she moves out of state, but returns to Georgia within the same 4 month period, he/she may resume 4MEx for any remaining months.

A notice is sent at the beginning of the four month extended period specifying the months of eligibility under 4MEx. Ensure that the months of 4MEx are determined correctly by GA Gateway and the AU receives appropriate notice.

An AU that becomes eligible for Parent/Caretaker with Child(ren) during the 4MEx eligibility period has the option of receiving Parent/Caretaker with Child(ren) or 4MEx. If the AU elects to receive Parent/Caretaker with Child(ren) and subsequently becomes ineligible, Medicaid cannot be reinstated for the remainder of the original 4MEx period. However, if the reason for Parent/Caretaker with Child(ren) ineligibility would again qualify the AU for 4MEx, a new 4MEx eligibility period may be established.
