400.18.02 CHILDREN AGE 1 TO AGE 6 – COE-072

COE-072 covers children age 1 to age 6 whose household income does not exceed the MAGI-equivalent level of 143% FPL. When a child active in COE-072 reaches age 6, continued eligibility is possible through the use of the pre-populated review form issued to the household or, if the next review is scheduled during the child’s 12-month protected period, MEDS will automatically review the child for placement in an alternate COE at the time the case is processed for approval. • If household income does not exceed 107% FPL, which is the MAGI-equivalent limit for COE-073 that covers children age 6 to age 19, MEDS will place the child in COE-073 in the month after the child turns age 6. • If household income exceeds 107% FPL but does not exceed 133% FPL, MEDS will place the child in COE-074 that covers children age 6 to age 19. • If household income exceeds 133% FPL and the child is uninsured, MEDS will place the child in CHIP coverage (COE-099) effective with the month after the child turns age 6. If the child is insured and cannot be placed in CHIP, eligibility for Medicaid will end at the end of the month the child turns age 6. The approval notice for COE-072 will inform the parent/caretaker of the child’s continuing or termination of eligibility, whichever applies.
