this title or title XIX, if a child is born to a targeted low-income 
pregnant woman who was receiving pregnancy-related assistance under 
this section on the date of the children's birth, the child shall be 
deemed to have applied for child health assistance under the State 
child health plan and to have been found eligible for such assistance 
under such plan (or, in the case of a State that provides such 
assistance through the provision of medical assistance under a plan 
under title XIX, to have applied for medical assistance under such 
title and to have been found eligible for such assistance under such 
title) on the date of such birth and to remain eligible for such 
assistance until the child attains 1 year of age so long as the child 
is a member of the woman's household and the woman remains (or would 
remain if pregnant) eligible for such assistance. During the period in 
which a child is deemed under the preceding sentence to be eligible for 
child health or medical assistance, the child health or medical 
assistance eligibility identification number of the mother shall also 
serve as the identification number of the child, and all claims shall 
be submitted and paid under such number (unless the State issues a 
separate identification number for the child before such period 
expires).''.
