What do I need to show that my child has a disability or is blind?
To be considered disabled for state programs, your child must be certified disabled through the Social Security Administration or the State Medical Review Team. |
What is the income limit?
The income limit and whose income is counted depend on your child’s age, what services your child needs, and who lives with you. |
If my income is more than the limit, can my child still get coverage?
Yes, your child may still get coverage under one of these programs: |
Can my child get coverage if I have a house, car, savings or other assets?
Yes, children under 21 do not have asset limits. |
When will coverage start?
After your child is approved, coverage may: |
| • Go back to the date your application was received, or |
| • Go back three months from the date your application was received. |
| Call your county office if you have questions about when coverage can start. |
What if my child has other health insurance?
Your child may still get coverage. You must tell us if your child has other health insurance or could be covered by someone else’s insurance. Sometimes we can pay the cost of the other insurance so you can keep that coverage. |
