    (a) The agency must provide categorically needy Medicaid eligibility 
to a child born to a woman who is eligible as categorically needy and is 
receiving Medicaid on the date of the child's birth. The child is deemed

birth and remains eligible as categorically needy for one year so long

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. 435.301(b)(1)(iii).

children born on or after October 1, 1984.
