Bill > HB3765

This bill expands eligibility for Medicaid in Texas to certain working parents for whom federal matching funds are available. Specifically, it requires the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to provide medical assistance to working parents of dependent children who apply for the assistance, as long as federal funding is available. The bill directs the executive commissioner to adopt necessary rules to implement this expanded eligibility, and it requires the commission to notify appropriate federal agencies of the expanded eligibility. The bill also specifies that the expanded eligibility applies to initial determinations and recertifications of eligibility made on or after the implementation date, regardless of the date the person applied.
