  • Confirm whether the child is living in the home and take one of the following actions:
  • If the child is living in the home, add the child on Medi-Cal to the parent’s case if otherwise eligible.
  • IMPORTANT: When adding the child, the EW must use the MEDS-ID or CIN on the child’s MEDS record to prevent duplicate records from being created.
  • If the child is NOT living in the home, submit an SCD 1296 requesting the MTO to terminate the AE record.
  • If the child is already added to the parent’s case under a DIFFERENT MEDS-ID, submit a SCD 1296 requesting an EW11 transaction to combine the two records.

Note: If the AE Aid Code is 8E, it means the application was filed at the Single Point of Entry (SPE). Contact SPE to obtain a copy of the application if necessary.
