    (a) The Medicaid agency must provide categorically needy Medicaid 

eligibility to a child born to a woman who is eligible for and receiving

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.
