Adoption Payment: This evidence captures details of an assistance payment made by the Government for an adopted child living in the household. This type of assistance payment is given when the adopted child has some special needs - such as physical, or mental disability. An Adoption Payment relates directly to an adoption record for a child who has been adopted by an adult household member. The Adoption Payment includes information such as the amount, frequency, and type of payment received, for example, a state funded assistance payment. Individuals eligible for title IV-E adoption assistance are in a Medicaid eligibility group known as 'mandatory categorically needy'. This means that their receipt of Medicaid is automatic by virtue of their eligibility for title IV-E adoption assistance.
