AI Summary

This bill permits Medicaid coverage for citizens of the Freely Associated States (the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau) who are lawfully residing in the United States under the Compacts of Free Association. It amends the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to restore Medicaid eligibility for these individuals, and exempts them from the 5-year limited eligibility for federal public benefits. The bill also defines these individuals as "qualified aliens" for the purposes of Medicaid eligibility, and ensures that their Medicaid expenditures are not counted towards the payment limits for U.S. territories.
