Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill amends provisions relating to income eligibility levels for pregnant women and infants under the Medicaid program. Current law provides that an infant or a pregnant woman whose family income is not more than 215 percent of the federal poverty level, if the infant or woman is otherwise eligible, is eligible for Medicaid. The bill amends the income eligibility level to 375 percent. The bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS) to submit a Medicaid state plan amendment to the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services of the United States department of health and human services (CMS) for approval in accordance with the provisions in federal law to provide 12 months of continuous postpartum eligibility under the Medicaid program to a pregnant woman whose family income while pregnant is at or below 375 percent of the federal poverty level for the household size, beginning January 1, 2026. The bill also requires HHS to submit a children’s health insurance program state plan amendment to CMS to update infant eligibility consistent with the provisions of the bill, beginning January 1, 2026.
Por qué importa. Pregnant women and infants with family incomes up to 375 percent of the federal poverty level would become eligible for Medicaid and the children’s health insurance program. Starting January 1, 2026, the department of health and human services would also provide continuous postpartum Medicaid coverage for eligible pregnant women. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)2
