WAG 24-02-03: Medical for a Pregnant Woman

PM 24-02-03

When a client whose medical was stopped due to noncooperation with CSE provides proof of pregnancy, provide medical as follows:

1. (DCSE) Sends a Change In Case/Noncustodial Parent Status (Form 493) to the FCRC when the client says she's pregnant. This form is sent whether or not the client cooperates.

   NOTE: Use Form 493 in addition to Form 1611 for a pregnant client relative who does not cooperate. Do not deny or cancel medical benefits for a pregnant woman who fails to cooperate, if otherwise eligible. 

2. (FCRC) Authorizes medical for the pregnant woman as follows:
   • TANF Cash, failure to comply, see WAG 24-02-03-a.
   • TANF Cash or Medical, refusal to comply, see WAG 24-02-03-b.
   • AABD Cash or Medical, refusal to comply, see WAG 24-02-03-c.
3. (FCRC) Set a manual control to determine cooperation, when the client who did not cooperate receives medical only. Set the control for 60 days after the end of the pregnancy.
