This is a reprint of the official rule as published by the Office of the Code Reviser. If there are previous versions of this rule, they can be found using the Legislative Search page.

In cases where it is not clearly established who the custodial parent is, whether because the court orders establishes joint custody or there is no formal order, the custodial parent is the parent with whom the child spends the most nights.
If it is claimed the child spends an equal number of nights with each parent, but for purposes of establishing Apple Health eligibility for that dependent, the agency accepts the application for the custodial parent or guardian that applied first.
This action does not prevent the other custodial parent or guardian from including that dependent on their application and counted towards their medical assistance unit.
For more information on determining a person's medical assistance unit see Household composition.
Note: This information does not apply to long-term care applications that were received prior to the applicant's death. ALTSA will continue to work with the applicant's designee to approve or deny the request.

Note: A person who is already legally incompetent cannot create a valid DPOA.
