Is it possible for a Title IV-E adoption assistance eligible child to receive Medicaid past the age of eighteen?
For children receiving Title IV-E adoption assistance, Medicaid receipt is not considered separately from their adoption assistance eligibility. Adoption assistance eligibility is the basis for Medicaid eligibility for most Title IV-E adoption assistance children. The real question is, “Can a child receive Title IV-E adoption assistance past the age of eighteen?” And the answer is, “Yes, a child can receive Title IV-E adoption assistance past the age of eighteen.” It is the adoption assistance state’s option to continue adoption assistance past the age of eighteen. If the adoption assistance state determines that a child has a mental or physical handicap that warrants the continuation of assistance, the state can continue assistance up to the age of 21. Since children who are Title IV-E adoption assistance eligible are also eligible for Medicaid, the Medicaid would also continue in the state in which the child lives, so long as that state provides Medicaid for this eligibility group pa
