23 Miss. Code. R. 101-1.4 - Rule Mandatory Coverage of Parents and Other Caretaker Relatives
A. Coverage is mandatory for parents and
other caretaker relatives who have a dependent child or children under the age
of eighteen (18) living in the home whose household income is below the
applicable limit established by the state for coverage.
1. The limit established by the state is a
modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) equivalent standard based on household
size.
2. The Division of Medicaid
certifies eligibility for this group.
B. Extended Medicaid coverage for twelve (12)
months is mandatory for a family whose eligibility is based on family coverage
if the family loses Medicaid coverage solely due to increased income from
employment or increased hours of employment provided the family received
Medicaid in any three (3) or more months during the six (6) month period prior
to becoming ineligible, as determined by the Division of Medicaid.
C. Extended Medicaid for a maximum of four
(4) months is required if a new collection or increased collection of child
support, prior to January 2014, or spousal support under Title IV-D of the
Social Security Act results in the termination of Medicaid for a family whose
eligibility is based on family coverage described above, as determined by the
Division of Medicaid. Effective January 1, 2014, child support no longer counts
as income.
