XV. PARENTING
In the District of Columbia low-income pregnant residents can have prenatal and
postnatal costs covered by their respective insurance plan obtained pursuant the
Affordable Care Act (ACA). If the pregnant DC resident does not already have medical
insurance she can apply immediately via the online site at www.DCHealthLink.org or via
her nearing Economic Security Administration site, (see Material Assistance Chapter for
list of ESA sites), between 8:45am - 4:45pm. ESA examiners screen to determine if the
applicant is eligible for health insurance, food stamps, IDA (Interim Disability
Assistance), or TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families).
ACA insurance covers doctor’s visits, emergency care, hospital stays, prenatal care, labor
and delivery, family planning, and health education services. In order to continue
receiving TANF benefits, the minor is required to participate in educational or training
activities and live in the home of a responsible adult or an adult supervised residence.
Unless otherwise noted, participants must pre-register to participate in one of the below
described parenting programs.
