If a child under a Title IV-E guardianship waiver moves from their guardianship state to another state, are they eligible for Title XIX Medicaid from their new state of residence?
Yes, a child under a Title IV-E guardianship waiver who moves from the child’s guardianship state to another state is eligible for Title XIX Medicaid from the new state in which the child lives. Title IV-E recipients are “mandatory categorically needy” and their eligibility for Title IV-E confers automatic eligibility for Medicaid in any state where they live. Cite: 42 U.S.C §§ 673(b)(1) and 1396a(10)(A)(i)(I); 42 C.F.R. §435.145.
