Children born to pregnant women, who were determined to be eligible as of the last day of pregnancy, are eligible for Medicaid for one year, beginning on the date of birth, and for the remaining days of the month in which the twelfth month falls.

 

Children who are eligible for the extended eligibility period become continuously eligible for the 12 months.

 

If the Medicaid case closes for loss of residency during the extended period and the family returns to the state and reapplies while still in the extended period, eligibility may be reestablished for the remainder of the period.
