If either of the following are met, the woman is considered to be receiving Medicaid on the day the pregnancy ends: 1. She has a pending application on the day the pregnancy ends, and is subsequently determined eligible; or 2. She applies for coverage after her baby is born and is determined Medicaid- eligible as of the delivery date, or earlier. Renewals Individuals receiving extended postpartum coverage remain eligible regardless of changes in circumstances that may affect eligibility such as a change in income, household composition, or categorical eligibility (e.g., reaching an age milestone or loss of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for individuals eligible for Medicaid based on receipt of SSI). A renewal is required at the end of the 12-month period to evaluate ongoing Medicaid coverage. Effective Date: 7/1/2023
