- MANUAL REVISION #30
1805.012.60.10
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the memorandum is to clarify how to enter non-court ordered child support for Family MO HealthNet programs in the Missouri Eligibility Determinations and Enrollment System (MEDES).
When a custodial parent receives money from a non-custodial parent that is not court ordered, but is intended to be used to support the child(ren), enter the amount received in MEDES as child support. Enter the child support income under the child’s name or divide the amount equally between the children it is intended to support, who reside in the home.
Per 1805.012.60.10 Income Excluded Under MAGI, child support is considered an excluded income source.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
