MassHealth Family Group

A MassHealth Family Group consists of a family, couple, or individual.

Definition of Family

A Family is defined as: Persons who live together, and consists of: (1) a child or children under age 19, any of their children, and their parents; (2) siblings under age 19 and any of their children who live together even if no adult parent or caretaker relative is living in the home; or (3) a child or children under age 19, any of their children, and their caretaker relative when no parent is living in the home.

Additional Information

An unborn child is considered a family member when determining family size.

A caretaker relative may choose whether or not to be part of the family. A parent may choose whether or not to be included as part of the family of a child under age 19 only if that child is: a) pregnant; or b) a parent. A child who is absent from the home to attend school is considered as living in the home.

A parent may be a natural, step, or adoptive parent. Two parents are members of the same family group as long as they are both mutually responsible for one or more children who live with them.
