          Subpart C_Options for Coverage as Categorically Needy

 

Sec. 435.223  Individuals who would be eligible for AFDC if coverage 

under the State's AFDC plan were as broad as allowed under title IV-A.



    (a) The agency may provide Medicaid to any group or groups of 

individuals specified under Sec. 435.210 (a)(4), (a)(5), and (a)(6) 

who:

    (1) Would be eligible for AFDC if the State's AFDC plan included 

individuals whose coverage under title IV-A is optional (for example, 

Medicaid may be provided to members of families with an unemployed 

parent even though AFDC is not available to them under the State's AFDC 

plan); or

    (2) Would be eligible for AFDC if the State's AFDC plan did not 

contain eligibility requirements more restrictive than, or in addition 

to, those required under title IV-A.

    (b) The agency may cover any AFDC optional group without covering 

all such groups.
