Age
Children age 0-6 who are eligible for an Apple Health for Kids program will receive continuous eligibility through their sixth birthday month regardless of changes in household income. This also applies to children enrolled in a MAGI-based Long-Term Care medical program (K01).
Children age 6-18 who are eligible for an Apple Health for Kids program will receive twelve months of continuous eligibility from the date of application or renewal.
When an individual is an Apple Health recipient in the month of their twenty-first birthday and they receive active inpatient psychiatric treatment which extends beyond their twenty-first birthday, they remain eligible for CN or MN coverage under the family institutional medical program (K01, K95) until the date they discharge from the facility or until their twenty-second birthday, whichever happens first.
When an individual applies in the same month they reach the age limit for the specific program, they can still be approved for the month of application even though they may have already had their birthday.
