Bill > S07747

This bill amends the Social Services Law and the Public Health Law to ensure continuity of public health insurance coverage for children under the age of six. The key provisions are: (1) a child under the age of six who is eligible for medical assistance must remain eligible until the last day of the month in which the child reaches age six, unless the child's parent elects to enroll the child in the Child Health Insurance Plan; and (2) the Commissioner of Health is required to submit necessary waivers and take other actions to secure federal financial participation for this coverage.
