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-run health insurance program, to individuals who are ineligible for federal financial participation due to their immigration status. To be eligible, individuals must be New York state residents, have household incomes below 200% of the federal poverty line, and meet other eligibility requirements, despite their immigration status making them ineligible for federal funding. The bill also outlines that an applicant who fails to make required premium payments will lose their eligibility for coverage under the program.
