I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this directive is to advise social services districts of
the amendments to the Social Services and Public Health laws to provide
expanded Medical Assistance (MA) eligibility for pregnant women and
infants up to age one whose family incomes are at or below 185% of the
federal income official poverty line (as defined and annually reported
by the federal Office of Management and Budget), and to also provide
presumptive eligibility for pregnant women and to specify the
conditions under which such presumptive eligibility will be authorized.
