1997 Minnesota Statutes

     256B.062 Continued eligibility. 

    Medical assistance may be paid for persons who received aid 
 to families with dependent children in at least three of the six 
 months preceding the month in which the person became ineligible 
 for aid to families with dependent children, if the 
 ineligibility was due to an increase in hours of employment or 
 employment income or due to the loss of an earned income 
 disregard.  A person who is eligible for extended medical 
 assistance is entitled to six months of assistance without 
 reapplication, unless the assistance unit ceases to include a 
 dependent child.  For a person under 21 years of age, medical 
 assistance may not be discontinued within the six-month period 
 of extended eligibility until it has been determined that the 
 person is not otherwise eligible for medical assistance.  
 Medical assistance may be continued for an additional six months 
 if the person meets all requirements for the additional six 
 months, according to Title XIX of the Social Security Act, as 
 amended by section 303 of the Family Support Act of 1988, Public 
 Law Number 100-485.  This section is repealed effective March 
 31, 1998.
