Change in Household Members
Add a person to the 12-Month Transitional Medicaid when:
That person is the spouse of the parent or caretaker relative, or the dependent child of the parent or the parent's spouse, AND
The person meets Medicaid eligibility requirements such as citizenship and social security number.
Example: You must add to the coverage children who are born or adopted into the household, or family members who were absent from the household when MAGI-based Parent/Caretaker Medicaid (PCR) closed, but who returned during the 12 month period.
The household must report the earned income for the new person at the next quarterly income report. (Do not count the new household member’s income until you get that report.)
Deprivation of support is not a factor when adding a new person to the household.
Remove a person from the household when:
The person leaves the household and the absence is not temporary.
A child no longer meets the age requirement to qualify a parent or caretaker relative for PCR Medicaid.
When to Close the Case
The person who leaves is the only age eligible dependent child.
The only child no longer meets the age requirement to qualify a parent or caretaker relative for the PCR Medicaid.
The household moves out of state.
The parent or caretaker relative is eligible for PCR Medicaid again, and the children are eligible for Child Medicaid. Move the household members to the appropriate Medicaid program before closing the 12 month transitional.
