Okla. Admin. Code § 317:45-9-1.1 - Certification of newborn child deemed eligible
(a) A newborn child is deemed eligible on the
date of birth for SoonerCare benefits when the child is born to a member of
Insure Oklahoma Employer Sponsored Insurance (ESI) and the annual gross
household income does not exceed SoonerCare requirements. The newborn child is
deemed eligible for SoonerCare benefits through the last day of the month the
child attains the age of one (1) year.
(b) The newborn child's SoonerCare
eligibility is not dependent on the mother's continued eligibility in Insure
Oklahoma ESI. The child's SoonerCare eligibility is based on the original
eligibility determination of the mother for Insure Oklahoma ESI and
consideration is not given to any income or resource changes that occur during
the deemed eligibility period.
(c)
The newborn child's certification period for SoonerCare is shortened only in
the event the child:
(1) Loses Oklahoma
residence; or
(2) Expires.
(d) No other conditions
of eligibility are applicable, including social security number enumeration and
citizenship and identity verification. However, it is recommended that social
security number enumeration be completed as soon as possible after the child's
birth.
