3.1.4.4 Non IV-E Foster Children
The State Supplementary Payment ( SSP ) is the portion of an SSI payment paid by a state, not by the federal government. An SSP recipient's residence is the state making the SSP payment.
Federal financial participation is available under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act to pay for all or part of a person's foster care or subsidized adoption. IV-E eligible children are categorically eligible in the state where they reside. This policy applies only to MA coverage. It does not affect any maintenance payments for substitute care.
A homeless person living in Wisconsin meets the requirement of being physically present in Wisconsin. The agency must, by using its own address or some other fixed address, make MA cards available to eligible applicants who have no fixed dwelling place or mailing address.
Wisconsin certifies non IV-E foster children living in another state when Wisconsin or one of its county/tribal agencies has legal custody of the child.
Non IV-E foster children are automatically eligible for Medicaid. These cases are certified manually outside of CARES Client Assistance for Re-employment & Economic Support.
