4 Poll How familiar are you with coverage for former foster youth under the Affordable Care Act? I don t know much about it. I have some information I know a lot about it 4
5 Overview of the law 5
6 The Affordable Care Act Increases access to health care coverage Allows young adults to remain on their parent s insurance up to age 26 Provides equity for former foster youth through Medicaid up to age 26 6
7 California Law Enrollment upon emancipation No interruption in coverage No application Procedures to identify and enroll eligible youth Identify and conduct outreach to former foster care adolescents who lost Medi-Cal coverage due to turning 21 Simplified redetermination 7
8 California Law Before coverage can be terminated: Identify whether individual is eligible for another reason (such as income) Provide advance notice Provide an opportunity to appeal Not discontinued due to a loss of contact 8
9 Eligibility In foster care at age 18 or older - In California, OR - In another state Living in California now Under the age of 26 No income or assets test. Former foster youth qualify regardless of income. Former foster youth qualify regardless of placement type. Includes youth placed with relatives and youth in probation-supervised placements. 9
10 Quiz Hector was in foster care in Utah from age Now he is 24 and lives in California. Is he eligible for Medi-Cal? Yes. California provides Medi-Cal coverage for young adults who were in foster care in another state at age 18 or older. 10
11 Quiz Michael has been in foster care since he was 14. He is now 19 and receiving extended foster care benefits through AB 12. Is Michael eligible for Medi-Cal? Michael is eligible for Medi-Cal as a current foster youth. When he leaves foster care, he will be eligible for Medi-Cal as a former foster youth. Although his aid code will change, he should not have any break in coverage. 11
12 Quiz Karen is 22. She was placed in foster care in California when she was 15. At age 17 she was arrested, adjudicated a delinquent, and placed in a group home. The placement was supervised by probation. Karen remained in the group home until the juvenile court terminated jurisdiction when she turned 18. Is Karen eligible for Medi-Cal? Yes. A group home is a foster care placement. She is eligible as a former foster youth. 12
13 Former Foster Care Children s (FFCC) Program in CA: Then and Now Former foster youth are enrolled in the Medi-Cal coverage group for Former Foster Care Children Pre-ACA FFY eligible for Medi-Cal FFCC coverage CA Bridge Funding FFY turning 21 between 7/1/13-12/31/13 maintain FFCC eligibility until 26 ACA- 1/1/2014 Extension takes full effect! FFY are eligible for Medi-Cal FFCC 13
14 What coverage is available? No cost, full scope Medi-Cal EPSDT up to age 21 Comprehensive screening, diagnosis and treatment Including vision, hearing, and dental Adult Medi-Cal 21 and after Includes medical care, visions exams, substance abuse treatment, dental (starting May 2014), and mental health services. 14
15 Why enroll as a former foster youth? Continuous coverage until age 26 (simplified redetermination process) No income requirements = FFY qualify regardless of income & stay covered even if their income changes. FFY can choose fee-for-service Medi-Cal. No cost. Allows FFY to save money for school, rent, and other necessities. 15
16 Department of Health Care Services Policy 16
17 How does it work? Self-attestation = immediate enrollment Medi-Cal Form MC250A (Rev 01/14) DHCS Guidance: Medi-Cal Eligibility Division Information Letter (MEDIL) No. I MEDIL No (workarounds & system overrides) More guidance and/or FAQs expected! County Welfare Directors Association (CWDA) Guidance: CWDA desk aid for county workers 17
18 DHCS Guidance Identify former foster youth early in the application process to prevent the collection of unnecessary information (e.g. income) & streamline enrollment MC 250A form (a simple, one-page form) used for former foster youth Single, streamlined application or full Medi-Cal application NOT required 4M aid code assigned for former foster youth up to age 26 Enroll youth who were in foster care on their 18 th birthday regardless of aid code 18
19 DHCS Guidance: Immediate enrollment & Verification Attest to having been in foster care at 18 or older = immediate enrollment Enrolled while county verifies former foster care status Verification: Youth NOT required to bring foster care documentation Counties encouraged to verify status in CA by looking in the Child Welfare System/Case Management System (CWS/CMS) If applicant was in foster care in another state, county must contact other state to verify 19
20 Instructions to counties - Processing applications from Former Foster Youth FFCC cases should be processed in SAWS (not CalHEERS) County workers should manually override the system to assign the appropriate 4M aid code to FFY until all the automated systems (SAWS) are reprogrammed Counties should check MEDS system to make sure 4M aid code has posted. If not posted, county should manually assign 4M aid code in MEDS In immediate need situations, counties shall complete an online MEDS transaction to activate aid code 4M (same day FFY applies) 20
21 How to enroll & overcoming barriers 21
22 How to Sign Up BEST WAY Apply directly through the county using one-page MC 250A form Can apply in-person at a county Medi-Cal office Some counties have assigned special staff to enroll former foster youth and/or identified streamlined ways for youth to apply without going in-person 22
23 Other ways to apply Not ready yet Online/Covered CA: FFY are likely to (1) experience delays and (2) be placed in the incorrect coverage group if they try to apply online or try calling Covered CA right now. Also, some former foster youth who apply through Covered CA may be incorrectly told they are ineligible for Medi- Cal coverage. Why is this? The CalHEERS online system is not yet programmed to assign former foster youth the correct aid code or to recognize that former foster youth qualify for Medi-Cal coverage based on their former foster youth status. Former foster youth can t currently skip unnecessary questions online. Covered CA Call Center: staff currently have no mechanism to identify former foster youth. TIP: FFY should NOT apply online right now. They should apply through a county social service agency office. 23
24 What barriers have some former foster youth encountered? Incorrect information Enrollment delays Incorrect eligibility determinations 24
25 What is being done to make things better & reduce barriers? Counties are receiving additional training & guidance. CWDA sent county workers a desk aid with instructions on how to process applications from former foster youth. CWDA is working to identify county liaisons for the FFCC program. Trouble shooting by DHCS, CWDA, and county agencies as issues identified. Counties have received direction to manually override county systems to issue correct aid code to former foster youth until permanent programming fixes are made to SAWS. Covered CA & DHCS are working on programming fixes to CalHEERS. 25
26 Enrollment tips/reminders Former foster youth: Should be enrolled in the Former Foster Care Child (FFCC) coverage group Should be assigned the 4M aid code Do NOT have to provide income information 26
27 Enrollment tips/reminders Former foster youth: Do NOT have to fill out the full Medi-Cal application (just the MC250A form) Do NOT have to provide proof that they were in foster care at age 18 or older the county will verify Should be immediately enrolled in coverage. Former foster youth should receive a Medi-Cal benefits number before they leave the county social service agency office. It may help to bring a copy of the guidance sent to the counties (e.g. MEDIL and/or CWDA desk aid) when going to apply at a county office. These documents and the MC 250A are available at and 27
28 Best practices 28
29 Best Practices - Counties Designate a specific point person or phone number for former foster youth to call to enroll Examples Alameda, Butte, Calaveras, Fresno, Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Solano Identify specific staff for former foster youth to ask for if they go in person to a county Medi-Cal office. Partner with service providers working with transition-aged youth. 29
30 Spotlight on Santa Clara County Santa Clara County has developed three easy ways for former foster youth to sign up (without visiting a local county office). Former foster youth can: Meet with a designated county social worker during his drop-in hours at The Hub. The Hub is a youth-led resource center for current & former foster youth. Call the designated county social worker to make an appointment to meet at another time. Call the County s Foster Care Eligibility unit. *Former foster youth can also contact Legal Advocates for Children and Youth ( LACY ) if they encounter problems enrolling. 30
31 Outreach & Resources 31
32 For additional Outreach resources - Coveredtil26 Children Now is spearheading Coveredtil26, a statewide outreach campaign to ensure all former foster youth living in California know they are eligible for Medi-Cal coverage until age 26.
