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/ |
A Medicaid extension is a period of Medicaid eligibility given to an AFDC-Medicaid recipient beyond the time when AFDC-Medicaid closes.
The Medicaid extension lasts 12 months. In some instances, where child support money is involved, the extension may last only 4 months (5.6.6.1).
Extensions belong to individuals, not to groups. An individual whose AFDC-Medicaid closes for 1 or more of the extension reasons (5.6.3) receives an extension. Give him/her the extension even if the rest of the AFDC-Medicaid AG doesn't close.
