Bill > S1408

This bill, titled the "Economic Self-Sufficiency for Working Individuals with Disabilities Act," proposes the creation of a Medicaid buy-in program for individuals with disabilities in Florida who are between 18 and 64 years old and are working. This program, which requires federal approval through a Medicaid waiver or state plan amendment, would allow these individuals to obtain medical coverage under Medicaid even if their income is too high for initial enrollment, with the Agency for Health Care Administration determining the new income eligibility levels. The program would offer full Medicaid benefits, with premiums or cost-sharing limited to a percentage of the individual's income. The agency is mandated to seek federal approval by October 1, 2026, and to implement the program upon receiving it.
