3.18.1.E Who Cannot Be Included? The following situations result in ineligibility for the individual who meets at least one of the following criteria. However, when all members of the AG meet any of the criteria listed below the entire case is ineligible. In addition, when all otherwise-eligible children meet any of the criteria listed below, except receipt of SSI, foster care or adoption assistance, the entire case is ineligible. • Parents and siblings who are SSI recipients. The specified relative may receive AFDC- Related Medicaid when there are no children in the AG, if the children are ineligible for AFDC-Related Medicaid only because they are SSI recipients. • Parents and siblings who are noncitizens and are ineligible because they have been sponsored by a private or public agency or organization or because of deeming income from sponsor to noncitizen. • Parents and siblings who are noncitizens and are ineligible because they do not meet the citizenship. • A child who is a recipient of federal, state or local foster care maintenance payments. • A child of a minor parent, when the minor parent is a recipient of federal foster care payments. • A child who is a recipient of federal, state or local adoption assistance, unless the exclusion of the child reduces the amount of payment the AG would have received. When the child is included in the AG, any portion of the adoption assistance which meets any of the following criteria is excluded: • The adoption assistance is for a different purpose than the AFDC/U check would have been, i.e., vocational rehabilitation; or • The adoption assistance is for goods or services not included in the State's Standard of Need, i.e., money for special training or for medical care not provided for recipients of AFDC-Related Medicaid; or • The adoption assistance makes up the difference between the State's payment standard and the Standard of Need.
