Children who are receiving a Title IV-E Foster Care Maintenance Payment (including Tribal IV-E payments) are categorically needy eligible for Medicaid and no further financial determination is needed. (Title IV-E foster care eligibility is determined using the Aid to Families with Dependent Children rules in effect on July 16, 1996.)

Medicaid eligibility for all regular foster care (non-Title IV-E, tribal or state-funded) children is determined using MAGI methodology.
