Terminating Medical Assistance Only (MAO) Eligibility
When a child is placed in TJJD or a juvenile detention facility administered by the county juvenile probation department, the foster care eligibility specialist must end the child’s MAO eligibility in IMPACT. This is required because these placements are considered to be secured settings.
Reinstating MAO Eligibility
The child’s eligibility may be reinstated when he or she is released from the TJJD detention facility and placed back into CPS foster care or a kinship placement, provided DFPS continues as managing conservator.
