Medi-Cal for Children Entering California, Receiving State or Federal AAP from Another State Aid Codes 4A and 06
[Public Law 96-272]
Effective January 1, 2000, SB 1270 allows Medi-Cal benefits for children entering California, who are in receipt of state-only AAP and do not qualify for Medi-Cal because the state-only AAP benefit is from another state.
Any child or youth entering California, who apply for Medi-Cal and is receiving state-only AAP benefits from another state qualifies for Medi-Cal. Aid code 4A is used for this program.
The California DHCS added aid code 06 effective October 1, 2008, to accommodate the ICAMA for out-of-state federal AAP Medi-Cal cases. Under Public Law 96-272 children and youth receiving federal AAP benefits are automatically eligible for zero SOC MC until 18 or up to the age of 21 years old.
Note: For more information regarding the ICAMA process and the required documents refer to Interstate Compact on Adoption and Medical Assistance (ICAMA).
