Sec. 436.124  Newborn children.

    (a) The Medicaid agency must provide categorically needy Medicaid 
eligibility to a child born to a woman who is eligible for and receiving 
Medicaid on the date of the child's birth. The child is deemed to have 
applied and been found eligible for Medicaid on the date of birth and 
remains eligible as categorically needy for one year so long as the 
woman remains eligible and the child is a member of the woman's 
household. If the mother's basis of eligibility changes to medically 
needy, the child is eligible as medically needy under Sec. 
436.301(b)(1)(iii).
    (b) The requirements under paragraph (a) of this section apply to 
children born on or after October 1, 1984.
