Employed Individuals With Disabilities Program - Upper Age Limit - Prohibition

HB 430 prohibits the Maryland Department of Health from setting an upper age limit for eligibility in the Employed Individuals with Disabilities (EID) Program. It amends Maryland law (specifically Section 15-138(e)(3) of the Health-General article) to explicitly ban the department from restricting program access based on age. This directly affects employed individuals with disabilities who would otherwise risk losing eligibility solely due to age. The bill ensures that age cannot be a barrier to receiving EID Program services, which provide health care under Maryland's Medical Assistance Program. The change takes effect October 1, 2025.
