Ongoing Eligibility

The child does not have to meet any financial or non-financial eligibility requirements other than to live in Georgia in order to continue to receive Newborn Medicaid after the month of birth.

The only circumstance under which a child may become ineligible for Newborn Medicaid is as follows:

the child no longer lives in Georgia.

If a child moves out of state and then returns to live in Georgia prior to age 1, Newborn Medicaid can be reinstated until the child reaches age 1.

The parent or guardian is required to report within 10 calendar days any changes, which may affect the child’s eligibility for Newborn Medicaid.

Periodic renewals are not required.
