PURPOSE: This rule establishes which families will be deemed to be receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children for purposes of Title XIX.
- (1) In any case where a family has ceased to receive Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) benefits before April 1, 1990, solely because the earned income disregards provided for in 13 CSR 40-2.120(6)(A)4. or
- 5. no longer apply due to the four (4)- and eight (8)-month time limitations specified in 13 CSR 40-2.120(6)(C), the family shall be considered, for purposes of Title XIX, to be deemed to be receiving AFDC for a period of nine (9) months after the last month for which the family eligibly received this aid.
(2) With respect to families which ceased to receive AFDC before October 1, 1984, solely because the earned income disregard provided for in 13 CSR 40-2.120(6)(A)4. no longer applied due to the four (4)-month time limitation specified in 13 CSR 40- 2.120(6)(C), the family, for purposes of Title XIX, shall be deemed to be receiving AFDC for a period of nine (9) months starting with the month the family applies for this treatment, if the following provisions are met:
- (A) The family must make application for treatment no later than March 31, 1985;
- (B) The family would have been continuously eligible for AFDC from the time it ceased to receive the aid to the time of its application, as provided for in subsection (2)(A) of this rule, if the earned income disregard provided for in 13 CSR 40- 2.120(6)(A)4. were applied; and
- (C) The family must fully disclose in its application, as provided for in subsection (2)(A) of this rule, any health insurance coverage which its members may have in effect.
- (3) In any case where a family has ceased to receive AFDC benefits solely because the income of a minor parent’s own parent(s)/legal guardian(s) provided for in 13 CSR 40-2.120(2)(A) is included, then Title XIX eligibility for the children shall be determined. This determination will deem the minor parent’s own parents/legal guardian(s) income only to the minor parent. The minor parent’s children found eligible will be deemed to be receiving AFDC for purposes of Title XIX.
- (4) When a family has ceased to receive AFDC benefits as a result of the collection or increased collection of child or spousal support and has received AFDC for at least three
- (3) of the six (6) months immediately preceding the month in which ineligibility begins, that family shall be deemed to be recipients of AFDC for purposes of Title XIX for an additional four (4) calendar months beginning with the month in which the ineligibility begins, if the family remains eligible on all other factors.
