Bill Summary
To ensure that state medical assistance is targeted to the most vulnerable residents.
AI Summary
This bill amends state law to make undocumented residents eligible for medical assistance, provided they have resided in the state for at least one year and have applied for legal immigration status, which is a process to gain lawful presence in the United States. Additionally, the bill increases the asset limits for HUSKY C, a state-funded health insurance program, to $5,000 for single individuals and $7,500 for married couples, meaning individuals can possess more assets while still qualifying for the program. These changes aim to ensure that state medical assistance is directed towards the most vulnerable residents.
