Page 2 of 3 § 10:69-3.8 Applicant and eligible unit AFDC-C and-F 1. Income of those ineligible individuals who are parents of otherwise eligible children shall be considered available to the eligible family and shall be calculated in accordance with the stepparent deeming formula at N.J.A.C. 10:69-10.33. 2. Medicaid coverage through AFDC-related Medicaid shall not be granted to an ineligible alien or to aliens admitted as students or visitors. However, United States citizen/eligible alien children of illegal aliens may still be able to receive AFDC-C- or AFDC-F-related Medicaid. The situations described in (c)2i through iii below serve as illustrations of how to determine AFDC-C or-F, status for U.S. citizen/eligible alien children of ineligible aliens. i. In the case of one ineligible alien parent with U.S. citizen/eligible alien children, the children shall be eligible for Medicaid as AFDC-C due to parental deprivation (one parent is absent). The eligible unit shall consist of the U.S. citizen/eligible alien children. There is no Medicaid eligibility for the ineligible alien parent but his or her income shall be counted as available to the eligible unit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 10:69-10. ii. If one parent is an eligible alien or U.S. citizen, and qualifies the children for Medicaid as AFDC- F segment, the children and eligible alien/citizen parent shall be eligible for Medicaid under the -F segment. The other parent's income shall be counted as available to the eligible unit in accordance with N.J.A.C. 10:69-10 but he or she is ineligible for Medicaid. iii. If one or both parents are not eligible aliens or U.S. citizens and the parents do not meet the criteria to qualify the children for Medicaid under the AFDC-F segment, the children may, if otherwise eligible, qualify for NJ FamilyCare Children's Program coverage if they are U.S. citizens/eligible aliens.
