Living Arrangements

Any child born to a woman receiving Medicaid at the time of birth will remain Newborn eligible regardless of whether or not s/he continues to live with the mother. If the child enters foster care, is adopted, or ceases to live with the mother for any other reason, the existing Newborn case would need to be closed, and a separate Newborn case would need to be registered with the new guardian’s name and address. A new application is not required.
