Process: Determine eligibility for IV-E Foster Care Maintenance

After you complete the requirements details, the system enables the Determine Eligibility button on the Summary tab. When the system runs the eligibility determination, the system should include the foster child who receives SSI, but not include the child's income.

Run the eligibility determination as follows:

1. Once you have completed and verified the details on the Requirements 7-9 tab, click Apply to save the information.  

2. Click the Summary tab.

3. Enter any additional information or explanation related to this eligibility record in the Comments field.

4. Click Determine Eligibility. The system runs the business rules to determine the child's eligibility, then displays the results.

5. Click Save to accept this determination.

6. In the confirmation message, click OK to save this determination and freeze the record from any further updates.
   
   Click Cancel if you want to stop the action and return the eligibility status to "Not Determined." You can then make further verifications or adjustments to this eligibility record.

After you save the eligibility determination, the Program Eligibility screen displays "Completed" in the Status column and the determination result in the IV-E Eligibility column.

If you do not save the determination, the record remains in "Pending" status.
