The purpose of this GIS is to inform local departments of social services
(LDSS) of Medicaid categorical eligibility for both Title IV-E and Non Title
IV-E children in foster care. In the past, children in foster care who met
the eligibility criteria under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act were
deemed eligible for Medicaid, while those who did not meet the Title IV-E
eligibility criteria, and those awaiting Title IV-E determination, had their
Medicaid eligibility determined separately using a specific budgeting
methodology for non Title IV-E children in foster care.
