A Medicaid record is automatically created in the Medicaid Information Tracking System (MITS) and in Ohio SACWIS when the child has been determined eligible for FCM or AA reimbursements under Title IV-E.
If the child is eligible for Medicaid benefits, you can apply for Medicaid through the local department of job and family services agency. Once this is completed you can enter information pertaining to the Medicaid application within SACWIS.
The system automatically enters a termination date on the application record when the child is deemed no longer eligible for the benefit.
