Bill Summary

Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Removes a provision that requires the termination of medical assistance for childless adults who do not otherwise qualify for assistance if Illinois' federal medical assistance percentage for such persons is reduced below 90%. Effective immediately.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to remove a specific provision that would have automatically terminated medical assistance for childless adults if the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) fell below 90%. The bill eliminates language that previously mandated coverage cessation after a reduction in federal funding, effectively providing more stability and continuity for Medicaid eligibility among childless adults in Illinois. By removing this automatic termination clause, the legislation ensures that medical assistance can continue even if federal funding levels change, which could help protect healthcare access for low-income individuals who might otherwise lose their medical coverage. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, allowing for prompt implementation of the changes to Medicaid eligibility rules.
