REV. APRIL 29, 2024 NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 477-000-005 a. A CS referral is appropriate when the deceased parent was a noncustodial parent at the time of death. b. If a deceased parent was out of the child’s household at the time of death and the time of death has been more than 2 years ago, child support can only enforce an order up to 2 years past the date of death. 6. The parent cannot meet the Share of Cost (SOC). 7. Independent living programs.

Case Scenarios When a Referral Should Not Be Sent: 1. A Minor mother who is living with her parent(s), is in his/her own Master Case with a new child, the father is in the household, and paternity has been established. 2. Both biological parents in which paternity has been established who live in the home with the child. 3. A CS referral does need to be made during the postpartum period (this would not apply to 599 CHIP) for a newborn whose father is either absent from the home or who has not formally acknowledged paternity.
