What’s in it

This bill relates to eligibility for the Medicaid for employed persons with disabilities program (MEPD). §1396a. The bill amends current eligibility provisions requiring the department to cap premiums for individuals whose income falls below 250 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL), and that any acceptance by the department of the payment of a premium does not automatically confer initial or continuing MEPD eligibility on an individual.3 also requires HHS to not consider certain assets when determining asset eligibility under MEPD.

Read the full explanation

The bill requires that HHS extend MEPD eligibility to those with household incomes up to 300 percent of the FPL. Moneys in a pension fund are not to be considered by HHS for purposes of determining asset eligibility under MEPD. The bill provides that HHS must allow for the electronic payment of MEPD premiums through a page maintained on the department’s internet site.

From the explanation printed with the bill as introduced, written by the Legislative Services Agency. Amendments adopted later aren’t reflected. Full bill text
