To be eligible for Medicaid or 599 CHIP, an applicant/client must meet the age requirements for the applicable Medicaid category [1.1].

An applicant’s age is considered in determining eligibility for Assistance to the Aged, Blind and Disabled benefits [2.1]. Service providers must be at least 19 years old [3.1]. To obtain access to the names of relatives or to his or her original birth certificate for a person that was adopted or for whom a relinquishment or consent for adoption was given on or after September 1, 1988, the requester must provide evidence of having attained the age of 21 years [4.1].
