FMAP-Related Financial Eligibility - Student Earnings Exclusion - Iowa

Student earnings are exempt for applicants or recipients aged 19 or younger who are full-time students in high school or in an equivalent program. Those who have completed high school and are students in postsecondary education are not eligible for this exemption.

The student earnings are exempt when determining eligibility under all three income tests. (See FMAP-Related Limits for more information about the income tests.)

The exemption applies when the student is eligible for Medicaid as a child or a parent, regardless of the student’s living arrangement.

Employment does not alter a student’s status. The person may be employed during school vacation periods. If the person qualified as a full-time student in the term preceding the vacation period, the earnings are exempt.

When a full-time student completes high school or an equivalent curriculum, drops out of school, or begins attending less than full time, the person is considered a student for that entire month.

Likewise, when a person under age 20 who has earnings becomes a full-time student, the earnings are exempt beginning with the first benefit-month after the person becomes a full-time student.

The particular school defines "Full-time" student status.
