Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services Obsolete Medicaid Eligibility Handbook For the current MEH, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/meh-ebd/ For the current BC Plus Handbook, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/bcplus/ |
Newborn children are automatically eligible for MA if:
They are under age 13 months.
The natural mother was determined eligible for full-benefit MA (7.1.2) or Emergency Services MA (3.2.3) from the State of Wisconsin on the date of delivery.
|
Example: Ms. M. gave birth on April 15, 1992. On June 15, 1992 she applied for MA. Her eligibility was backdated to March 15, 1992. Her infant son is eligible from April 15, 1992 through April 30, 1993, the end of the month in which he turns one year old. |
The newborn child does not receive this automatic eligibility if the mother's MA certification is under presumptive eligibility (5.2.4).
They are continuously living with the natural mother. If the child moves out of state or ceases to live continuously with the natural mother, s/he loses eligibility and cannot recover it.
The child is not required to have a SSN.
