Change No. 1-2010
February 1, 2010
To receive Work First Family Assistance, a child, unless emancipated, must be age 17 or younger, except as described in the next paragraph. (Emancipated minor parents are considered adults and are treated as adults for Work First.)
Children may receive through the month they turn age 18. Children age 18, if in high school and expected to graduate from high school by the month of their 19th birthday, can receive as children through the month they graduate from high school.
If an eligible 18 year old child drops out of a four- year public or private high school, an adult high school diploma program, or home school (not GED), or is no longer expected to graduate by the month of their 19th birthday, terminate the child from the Work First case as soon as the caseworker verifies the situation. Evaluate the child for Medicaid eligibility.
