The purpose of this plan amendment is to remove the eligibility requirements that (1) the newborn child of a mother who is a Medicaid recipient must continuously reside with the mother for one year after birth; and (2) that the mother remain eligible for Medicaid (or would remain eligible if still pregnant) in order for the child to receive Medicaid benefits for one year after birth. This change enables the state to comply with the amendment to section 1902(e)(4) of the Social Security Act due to CHIPRA of 2009.
