<br />except that, for the purpose of eligibility under this
<br />subsection (3) only:
<br />
<br />(1) Such individual's family income shall exceed the
<br />eligibility threshold used in determining eligibility for aid
<br />to families with dependent children assistance pursuant to
<br />section 26-2-118, but shall not exceed the equivalent of the
<br />percentage level of the federal poverty line that is specified
<br />pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection (3);
<br />
<br />(II) (A) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN
<br />SUB-SUBPARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH (II), children under
<br />six years of age shall meet the income and resource standard
<br />used to determine eligibility for aid to families with
<br />dependent children assistance except as provided in this
<br />subsection (3).
<br />
<br />(B) Pregnant women shall meet the income standard used
<br />to determine eligibility for aid to families with dependent
<br />children assistance except as provided in this subsection (3).
<br />No resource standard shall be applied to pregnant women as a
<br />condition of eliqibility. Once initial eligibility has been
<br />established for a pregnant woman under this subsection (3),
<br />she shall be considered to be continuously eligible throughout
<br />the pregnancy and for the sixty days following the pregnancy,
<br />EVEN IF THE WOMAN'S ELIGIBILITY WOULD OTHERWISE TERMINATE
<br />DURING SUCH PERIOD DUE TO AN INCREASE IN INCOME. A CHILD BORN
<br />TO A WOMAN ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE PURSUANT TO THIS SUBSECTION
<br />(3) SHALL BE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE UNTIL THE CHILD
<br />ATTAINS ONE YEAR OF AGE SO LONG AS THE INFANT REMAINS IN THE
<br />ELIGIBLE WOMAN'S HOUSEHOLD AND THE WOMAN WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR
<br />ASSISTANCE IF SHE WERE PREGNANT.
<br />
<br />(bY The percentage level of the federal poverty line, as
<br />defined pursuant to 42 U.S.C. sec. 9902 (2), used to determine
<br />eligibility under this subsection (3) shall be one hundred
<br />thirty-three percent. If the federal government establishes a
<br />new federal minimum percentage level of the federal poverty
<br />line used to determine eligibility under this subsection (3)
<br />that is different from the level set in this paragraph (b),
<br />the state department is authorized to meet such federal
<br />minimum level without requiring additional legislation;
<br />however, such minimum federal level shall be established by
<br />rule and regulation by the state board of social services.
<br />
<br />(c) (I) ON AND AFTER JULY I, 1991, CHILDREN BORN AFTER
<br />SEPTEMBER 30, 1983, WHO HAVE ATTAINED AGE SIX BUT HAVE NOT
<br />ATTAINED AGE NINETEEN SHALL BE ELIGIBLE FOR BENEFITS UNDER THE
<br />BABY AND KID CARE PROGRAM; EXCEPT THAT, FOR THE PURPOSE OF
<br />ELIGIBILITY UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH (c) ONLY, SUCH INDIVIDUAL'S
<br />FAMILY INCOME SHALL EXCEED THE ELIGIBILITY THRESHOLD USED IN
<br />DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR AID TO FAMILIES WITH DEPENDENT
<br />CHILDREN ASSISTANCE PURSUANT TO SECTION 26-2-118, BUT SHALL
<br />NOT EXCEED THE EQUIVALENT OF THE PERCENTAGE LEVEL OF THE
<br />FEDERAL POVERTY LINE THAT IS SPECIFIED PURSUANT TO
<br />SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF THIS PARAGRAPH (c).
