Text

(a) Except as provided by subsection (b) of this section, an applicant is eligible for MTFCY if the applicant:

(1) is in foster care when he or she leaves conservatorship of this State;

(2) is 18 - 20 years of age (coverage continues through the month of his or her 21st birthday); and

(3) is not covered by a health benefits plan offering adequate benefits, as HHSC defines adequate benefits.
