Can an absent parent use MIChild as court ordered medical insurance?
• With the “no wrong door’ policy in mind, why doesn’t the MIChild application allow families to apply for other programs, such as day care, WIC, cash assistance, or food stamps? The “no wrong door” policy applies to the Medicaid program only. Requests for applications for other programs should continue to be through DHS or local public health agencies. • Will DHS pursue child support for Healthy Kids eligibles? Yes. DHS will pursue child support, as well as parental support and spousal support.
