If the interview cannot be conducted with any of these persons, then another designated responsible person who is knowledgeable about the child’s circumstances is acceptable. In either case, the parents, if living in the state, should be contacted by CM to verify the child’s physical separation from the parents, the child’s income and resources, and whether or not the parents have the child covered under any health insurance plan. Whoever acts on behalf of the child must provide all information that is pertinent to an accurate determination of eligibility.
