Revision 15-4; Effective October 1, 2015

For most Medicaid for Transitioning Foster Care Youth (MTFCY) applications received via the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) interface, citizenship and alien status has been verified. For MTFCY applications not received via the DFPS interface, a period of reasonable opportunity may be granted if necessary, following the Medical Programs policy for citizenship and alien status eligibility in A-300, Citizenship.

Applicants who are U.S. citizens and certain legally admitted alien residents are eligible for MTFCY if they meet all other eligibility criteria.
