Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to coverage for health care services under the basic health program for individuals whose immigration status renders him or her ineligible for federal financial participation
AI Summary
This bill amends the social services law to provide eligibility for the basic health program, a state-based health insurance program, to individuals who are ineligible for federal financial participation due to their immigration status, but otherwise meet the income and residency requirements. The bill specifies that these individuals must have household income below 200% of the federal poverty line to be eligible. The bill also outlines that an applicant who fails to make required premium payments will lose their eligibility in accordance with procedures determined by the commissioner of health. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, and the commissioner of health is directed to make regulations and take necessary actions to implement the bill on that date.
