AN ACT relating to Medicaid eligibility.

Summary

The bill changes Medicaid rules so that pregnant women, mothers of newborns up to two years after birth, and children under one year can qualify if their family income is at or below 185% of the federal poverty level. It also allows the income threshold to be raised further if federal law permits and funding is available. The health cabinet must seek any needed federal approvals within 90 days, and can delay implementation until those approvals are received.
