Medicaid; Oklahoma Health Care Authority; immigration status attestation; application; illegal aliens; federal authority; effective date.

Summary

The bill orders the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to add a self‑certified immigration status question to every Medicaid or SoonerCare presumptive eligibility application. Applicants must attest under penalty of perjury, and the state must forward information on illegal‑alien applicants to the appropriate federal agency when federal law requires it. Health‑care providers are shielded from liability when they rely in good faith on the applicant’s attestation.
