DISCUSSION:

CEC was introduced in the 2023 Memorandum, IM-104 Continuous Eligibility for Children. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved Missouri’s State Plan Amendment and MHN policy has been updated.

The following section was added to the Family MO HealthNet (MAGI) Manual:

• 1805.070.00 Continuous Eligibility for Children (CEC)

The remaining MHN manual sections listed above are updated to reflect CEC policy.

Note: CEC does not apply to the Non-MAGI Blind Pension (BP) or the Supplemental Nursing Care (SNC) programs.

 

NECESSARY ACTION:

• Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
