Provides expanded enrollment through New York state of health through tax returns, and allowing for first-time enrollees to enroll at any time

Summary

The legislation adds a checkbox to New York state income tax forms so people without employer‑provided insurance can ask the health department to use their tax data to check eligibility for Medicaid, child health or basic plans. It creates a program that reviews the data within 30 days, notifies eligible individuals and lets them enroll outside the regular enrollment window. The goal is to expand coverage for New Yorkers who are currently uninsured.
