- Agency goal is to provide approval or denial (original or reinstatement) within 30-45 days, but in most cases, determination may take 60-90 days. - Clients will need to re-verify yearly after age 19.

The application process may be started online through the Ohio Benefits self-service portal at https://Benefits.ohio.gov, over the phone through the Ohio Benefits Hotline, or in person. Arrangements will then be made with agency to complete application. MCP-eligible clients must select and enroll in an MCP, or will be auto-enrolled randomly (plan can be changed with reason, or during open enrollment). Those who are enrolled in an MCP will receive an MCP identification card, which will replace their monthly Medicaid health card. NOTE: If someone meets criteria, is not currently receiving coverage, and wishes to apply, they should be clear about their history as a foster child when applying.

No fee to apply. Once receiving coverage, individual MCPs may charge co-payments for some services.

Those who age out of foster care will be covered through age 26 and are eligible to start coverage at any point before age 26. There are no income or asset requirements for this group. Those who aged out of foster care in other states, and who meet these guidelines are eligible for coverage as part of this group. Those who left foster care before aging out are not eligible for coverage as part of this group - but may be eligible as a different eligibility group. NOTE: Those who are waiting for disability determination by Social Security can receive their disability determination for Medicaid through the county - the shortest time for that determination would be three (3) months, but more commonly this takes 5-6 months.

None.
