Change in Income Example: Jasmine, age 15, is approved for Medicaid in May 2015. In July, her mother changes jobs and the income of the family now exceeds the eligibility threshold. Jasmine’s Medicaid eligibility continues through April 2016, even though income is excessive. 10.7.3 OTHER CHANGES A change that is not specified above does not affect a child’s 12-month CME period once it is established. See Section 10.2.2 for special instructions about the addition of newborn children to Medicaid cases.

NOTE: When a child leaves one home and moves to another in West Virginia and none of the criteria above for closure is met, the child retains his eligibility through the end of his current CME period. If the current payee for the child agrees, another individual may receive Medicaid for the child, so long as the child remains eligible through the end of the current CME period. Any eligibility changes are made at redetermination. A new application is not required.
