Previously, Medicaid applicants age 21 or over who failed to furnish an SSN, or proof that they have applied for an SSN, were determined ineligible for Medicaid. However, if a parent/caretaker relative was denied or discontinued, eligibility continued for children under 21 for whom there was no SSN. This is no longer the case. Children under age 21 will be denied or discontinued if the parent/caretaker relative (or the child applying on his or her own behalf) does not provide or apply for an SSN for the child.
