PM 04-02-02-b: Medical for an Applicant Who Is No Longer Pregnant

WAG 04-02-02-b.

Medicaid is available to a woman of any age whose pregnancy has ended, but who would have qualified had the pregnancy continued. The woman's legal spouse is not eligible for Moms & Babies.

A woman whose pregnancy has ended qualifies for Medical if the pregnancy ended in:

• the month of application; or
• one of the 3 months prior to the month of application.

Medical benefits cannot be approved prior to the 3 months before the month of application or for any month in which the woman was not pregnant at least one day in the month.
