A bill for an act relating to eligibility for the Medicaid for employed persons with disabilities program.

This bill raises the income limit for Iowa's Medicaid for Employed Persons with Disabilities (MEPD) program from 250% to 300% of the federal poverty level. It directly affects employed Iowans with disabilities whose household income falls within this new range, allowing them to qualify for Medicaid coverage. Key provisions include disregarding pension and retirement account assets when determining eligibility, requiring the state to allow electronic premium payments via its website, and clarifying that premium payments do not automatically guarantee program eligibility. The changes align with federal Medicaid rules to expand access for working individuals with disabilities.
