If they remain under age 19 over the course of their pregnancy, they will be given a 1 year certification period.

If they turn 19 before the end of their pregnancy, their coverage will continue through the end of their pregnancy and they will be eligible for After-Pregnancy Coverage (APC) through the end of the twelfth month after the end of their pregnancy.

Any pregnant teen will be eligible for WAH for Pregnant Teens as long as they are under age 19 and meet residency requirements under WAC 182-503-0520 .

The pregnant teen will be treated as their own assistance unit, with no income or resource limits. As a result, pregnant teens in this program will not need to provide their parents’ income or asset information.
