AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Alaska's medical assistance and food stamp programs. It allows the Department of Health to apply for a federal waiver to establish demonstration projects focused on addressing health-related social and economic needs of certain medical assistance recipients. It also authorizes the Department to pay medical assistance to school districts for rehabilitative and other services provided to eligible children, including those with disabilities. Additionally, the bill requires the Department to comply with federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) requirements, including implementing categorical eligibility to allow households with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty level to receive benefits regardless of asset levels. The changes to the food stamp program provisions take effect on July 1, 2025.
