Deprived Child - Medical Assistance - Iowa

NOTE: As of January 1, 2001, Deprivation of Parental Support is no longer an eligibility criterion.

Family Medical Assistance Program (FMAP) and FMAP-related Medically Needy coverage groups require that a child be deprived of parental support or care as a condition of eligibility. An otherwise eligible child is considered deprived of parental support or care when one or both parents are:

·           Deceased.

·           Continually absent from the home.

·           Physically or mentally incapacitated.

·           Unemployed.

Neither an able-bodied stepparent nor a friend in the home disqualifies a child from assistance, as long as the child meets the other eligibility factors. Determine deprivation by the circumstances of the natural or adoptive parents, regardless of whether:

·           The parents were married to each other, or

·           The parent was the chief breadwinner or devoted himself or herself primarily to the care of the child.
