redetermination extended to March 2026. Later in the year, a request to add a niece to the active CDC beginning June 2025 was granted (2nd extension). All four children will now have their redetermination extended to June 2026. In February 2026 a foster child was requested to be added to the CDC program (3rd extension request).
