Former Foster Youth Annual Automatic Renewal
The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is requesting an amendment to the 1115 Research and Demonstration Waiver, Project Number 11-W-00275/9, to seek authority to waive the condition of eligibility in 42 CFR 435.608 requiring Medicaid beneficiaries to apply for other cash benefits for the Former Foster Youth population. AHCCCS currently offers transitional medical care for children leaving foster care that are between the ages 18 to 26.
AHCCCS will present the details about Arizona’s Demonstration amendment proposal during a virtual Tribal Consultation meeting and will conduct two virtual public forum meetings. In addition, the Demonstration amendment proposal will be presented at the State Medicaid Advisory Committee (SMAC) meeting. Details regarding the public forum meetings can be found below:
