This group consists of adults up to twenty-six (26) years of age who aged out of foster care in Arkansas. There is no income or resource test. Other than the general Health Care eligibility requirements that all Health Care eligibles must meet (MS D-100), the requirements for eligibility in this group are that the adult was in foster care in Arkansas, was enrolled in Health Care when aging out of foster care at eighteen (18) to twenty-one (21) years of age depending on the individual circumstances and is currently under twenty-six (26) years of age.

Individuals in this group receive the full range of Health Care benefits.

Note: If an individual has aged out of foster care in one state, and they move to another state, they are eligible for Former Foster Coverage if all other general Health Care eligibility requirements are met. This applies only to youth who reach eighteen (18) years of age on or after January 01, 2023.
