16 Del. Admin. Code § 14000-14830
Medicaid benefits do not automatically transfer when a Medicaid client moves from one state to another. The Medicaid client must cancel Medicaid in one state and call the new state to establish coverage.
In the case of an individual who has moved to Delaware from another State, the individual is no longer a resident of the first State. The individual is ineligible in that State. However, the case may not be closed yet due to administrative process.
We must not wait for the case to be closed in the old State of residence in order to open the Medicaid case here in Delaware (the new State of residence) provided the individual has been found eligible here. The fact that a case is open in another State is not sufficient reason to deny or delay an eligibility decision if the individual has established Delaware residency and is otherwise eligible.
