    (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 

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 as categorically needy 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. 435.301(b)(1)(iii).

    (b) The requirements under paragraph (a) of this section apply to 

children born on or after October 1, 1984.
