Non-IV-E Foster Care and Adoption Assistance

Foster child not receiving IV-E Foster Care assistance:

When another state places a foster child in Utah and the child is receiving non-IV-E foster care, the child cannot receive Utah CHIP. The state making the placement is responsible to provide CHIP for the child.

Child With Adoption Assistance But Not IV-E Eligible:

When a non-IV-E child with an adoption assistance agreement originating from another state moves to Utah, the child is eligible for Utah Medicaid and should not be opened on CHIP if the state originating the adoption assistance agreement is a member of the Interstate Compact on Adoption and Medical Assistance (ICAMA).

If the state is not a member of ICAMA, the child is not eligible for medical assistance in Utah. The state making the payment is responsible to provide medical assistance for the child. Refer to Medicaid Section 355 for the ICAMA list. If the state originating the adoption assistance agreement is not on the ICAMA list, the eligibility worker should verify that the state is not a member of ICAMA by contacting the originating state or the Utah ICAMA administrator. States join periodically and the list could be outdated.
