124-1 CHILD OR YOUTH TAKEN INTO OCS CUSTODY
124-1 A. CHILD TAKEN INTO OCS CUSTODY
OCS notifies DOST by email that a child
is no longer in the home and the effective date. DPA will end the child’s
Medicaid coverage on the case. 10-day notice of adverse action
is required to end the Parent/Caretaker Relative’s Medicaid
coverage. If the child is the only person on the Medicaid
case, DPA
will close the case with adequate notice.
OCS registers a Medicaid case for
each child, with the child as PI
in Full Service Office (FSO)
060. The benefit start date would be the 1st day of the month after
the effective date of custody.
124-1 B. YOUTH OVER AGE 18 RE-ENTERS OCS CUSTODY
In some cases, a youth who was in state custody and was released to their own custody may re-enter OCS custody after their 18th birthday (or before their 18th birthday if they were emancipated). Youth age 18 or older who re-enter custody are not eligible for Title IV-E Foster Care.
OCS will
email DOST that the
youth has been taken into custody. DPA
will end the youth’s Medicaid eligibility with adequate notice.
OCS
registers a Medicaid case for the youth, with the youth as PI in Full Service Office (FSO) 060. The benefit start
date would be the 1st day of the month after the last paid Medicaid
benefit for the youth on the DPA
Medicaid case.
If the youth is released from custody, OCS will follow the procedures in section 124-5(3).
Refer to policy in the following program manuals: Temporary Assistance MS 711-6C, MAGI Medicaid MS 829, Aged Disabled and Long Term Care MS 533-D.
