Automated identification of eligible participants for the Medicare savings program

Summary

The bill requires the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance to add a separate consent option to the SNAP application for sharing information to verify Medicare Savings Program eligibility. Each quarter the office will automatically match SNAP data with health‑department records, and the Department of Health must enroll qualifying participants in the Medicare Savings Program within 45 days. It also creates a reporting process if federal approval is needed for the data‑matching system.
