Bill > HB1062

This bill aims to expand eligibility for Medicaid in Texas under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). It requires the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to provide Medicaid assistance to all individuals who apply and for whom federal matching funds are available under the ACA. The bill directs the executive commissioner to adopt rules for implementing this expanded eligibility, and it applies the changes to initial determinations and recertifications of Medicaid eligibility made on or after the section's implementation date. The bill also requires the executive commissioner to take necessary actions to notify federal agencies and implement the expanded eligibility as soon as possible after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2023.
