5007 CONTINUOUS ELIGIBILITY FOR CHILDREN
Beginning with the January 1999 benefit month, all children under the age of 19 who are eligible for Denali KidCare or other Medicaid eligibility categories (except BA, TM, 4M Four Month Post-Medicaid Eligibility, and Retroactive Medicaid) remain eligible for those benefits for a continuous 6-month period. During this 6-month period a child continues to be eligible regardless of changes in income, resources, family status, or household composition.
The continuous period of eligibility ends:
at the end of the
sixth month of continuous eligibility;
at the end of the
month the child reaches age 19;
at the end of the
month the child is incarcerated in a penal institution;
with the death
of the child;
when a case is
closed due to loss of contact with the client (i.e.,coupon is returned
in mail with no forwarding address); or
when the client loses Alaska residency.
Adults are not eligible for 6 months of continuous eligibility.
