Bill > HB932

This bill expands eligibility for Medicaid to certain working parents for whom federal matching money is available. Specifically, it requires the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to provide Medicaid assistance to all working parents of dependent children who apply for it, as long as federal funds are available to match the state's contribution. The bill directs the executive commissioner to adopt necessary rules to implement this expansion, and it specifies that the new eligibility criteria apply to initial determinations and recertifications made on or after the implementation date, regardless of the application date. The bill also requires the executive commissioner to take steps to notify federal agencies of the expanded eligibility.
