Title IV-E Adoption Subsidy |
Payments funded under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act to encourage the adoption of children with special needs. The payments help families with the extra costs that might be a barrier to adoption of a child with special needs. |
|
Title IV-E Foster Care |
Foster care payments funded under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act to help reimburse foster families for the costs of caring for a child placed in their care. |
|
SSI-Cash |
Payments from the Social Security Administration under Title XVI of the Social Security Act to low-income people who are at least age 65, blind or disabled. NOTE Some people do not receive a cash payment because their work income is too high, but SSA determines that it is not enough to replace both their SSI-Cash and the services they get through AHCCCS. These people are still considered to be receiving SSI-Cash. |
Proof that a person is receiving any of these payments includes:
AHCCCS records that show the person is currently receiving medical assistance related to SSI-Cash or Title IV-E;
Copies of check stubs for an SSI-Cash or Title IV-E payment;
A letter from the agency providing the payment;
Contact by telephone with the agency providing the payment; or
For SSI-Cash payments, an electronic record from SSA.
Contact DCS when a customer receives Title IV-E payment but PMMIS does not show the 270 eligibility key code. See Verifying DCS Payments for instructions.
