OAR 413-100-0455: Out-of-State Placements

(1) The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) provides for Child Welfare Title XIX Medicaid coverage in the state of residence for a child or young adult receiving Title IV-E foster care payments. (2) A child or young adult who is Title IV-E eligible in Oregon and placed in substitute care in another state is eligible for Title XIX Medicaid in the state of residence. (3) A non-Title IV-E child or young adult in DHS care or custody and placed in another state must contact the Child Welfare Title XIX Medicaid agency in that state for a Title XIX Medicaid determination. If that state determines the child or young adult is not eligible for Title XIX Medicaid, the child or young adult may be eligible for Oregon’s Child Welfare Title XIX Medicaid or General Assistance medical if the child or young adult meets the eligibility requirements.
