"Seems" so doesn't it, but I think the following should be considered as well.
Is a parent's immigration status part of eligibility?
No. The Florida KidCare application does not ask about parents' status.
Does Florida tell the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) I am applying to Florida KidCare?
No. The state of Florida cannot provide any information to the USCIS about people applying for Florida KidCare or medical benefits. (However, people who apply for cash assistance or food stamps can be reported if they reveal they're under a final order of deportation or not lawfully present.) Remember, the child's immigration status — not the parent's — is considered for Florida KidCare eligibility.
Will enrolling a child in Florida KidCare harm me in adjusting my status through USCIS?
No. Regulations state that health care cannot be used to deny individuals admission to the U.S., to bar legal permanent residence, or to deport. (May 25, 1999, Administration Policy Announcement directed to all federal agencies.)
Does Children's Medicaid give my social security and income data to the USCIS or the U.S. Department of State?
No. A 1997 federal decision requires this information to be confidential.
If I enroll my child in the Florida KidCare program, can I later be asked to pay back the money?
No. Neither the state of Florida nor the USCIS can require you to repay a lawfully received benefit. They will not accept it even if you want to pay it back.
