740-3 OTHER PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
For families transitioning from welfare to work, other public assistance programs provide key supports. Continued food and medical assistance can help stabilize a family's economic situation while they adjust to the challenges of a new way of supporting themselves. It is important that the case worker evaluate a family's eligibility for these programs when their TA ends.
740-3 A. SNAP CATEGORICAL ELIGIBILITY
Families that qualify for extended case management, under WSPM MS 1004-1, are categorically eligible for SNAP for six months after their ATAP case closes. For the policy on categorical eligibility please see SNAP MS 605-6B.
740-3 B. TRANSITIONAL MEDICAID
When a family becomes ineligible for MAGI Medicaid benefits because of employment, the family may be entitled to Transitional Medicaid benefits for up to 12 months. To determine eligibility for Transitional Medicaid, see MAGI Medicaid manual section 828.
Note:
Because of differences between MAGI
Medicaid and ATAP policy,
families may remain eligible for MAGI
Medicaid after their TA
case closes.
