Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to ensuring that temporary protected status beneficiaries continue to receive Medicaid benefits

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York social services law to ensure that individuals who were granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or enrolled in the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program can continue to receive Medicaid benefits even if the federal government ends those programs. Specifically, the bill prohibits the state from canceling, suspending, or rescinding Medicaid benefits for these individuals, and requires the state to extend Medicaid eligibility to individuals who previously had TPS or were enrolled in DACA if they meet all other eligibility requirements besides the immigration status requirements.
