Title V FP -Can a Medicaid card with the address of a relative taking care of a child be used as proof of guardianship as well as residency?

Medicaid card with the address of a relative taking care of a child can be used as proof of residency. (TV MCH, Section II Chapter 1, page II-6) However, the Medicaid card cannot be used for proof of guardianship. Per Regina Perez, HHSC: A family friend who is caring for a parentless child, may have the child apply for Medicaid as an independent child. Medicaid does not require proof of guardianship when a non-parent is applying for Medicaid for the child.
