Bill > SB00153

This bill amends Section 17b-261 of the general statutes to expand Medicaid eligibility for older adults with disabilities by excluding certain income from consideration. Specifically, it will disregard income for individuals who are considered "adult disabled children" under Title II of the Social Security Act, a provision that was incorporated into federal Medicaid law through an amendment sponsored by former United States Representative James Pickle. This change aims to make Medicaid more accessible to this vulnerable population by reducing the income threshold for eligibility.
