124-2          CHILD RECEIVING DKC Denali KidCare TAKEN INTO OCS Office of Children's Services CUSTODY

1. The OCS Office of Children's Services eligibility technician contacts the DKC Denali KidCare team or caseworker, via email, that the child has been taken into custody.  If additional children remain in the home, the DKC Denali KidCare worker will code the custody child out (OU Out) of the DKC Denali KidCare case.  If there are no remaining eligible children in the DKC Denali KidCare case, the caseworker will close the DKC Denali KidCare case giving timely notice of adverse action.  
    

2. The OCS Office of Children's Services eligibility technician registers a Medicaid case for each child, with the child as PI Primary Information Person in Full Service Office 060. The benefit start date is the 1st day of the month after the last paid Medicaid benefit on the DKC Denali KidCare case.
    

3. If the child is released from custody the OCS Office of Children's Services eligibility technician will close the 060 Medicaid case, giving timely notice of adverse action, and notify the appropriate DKC Denali KidCare office to resume the DKC Denali KidCare 072 case.
    

   • This is an electronic transfer and there will be no physical transferring or copying of DPA Division of Public Assistance files or Title IV-E files.
      

   • DKC Denali KidCare caseworkers are not required to obtain birth certificates or other forms of identification so there would be no relevant information in the physical DKC Denali KidCare file that would need to be transferred to the OCS Office of Children's Services eligibility technician.  
      

   • All pertinent information from a DKC Denali KidCare case would be maintained in the Case Notes and the OCS Office of Children's Services eligibility technician would be held to the same requirement.
