Medical assistance for employed persons with disabilities program modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's Medical Assistance for Employed Persons with Disabilities program by changing how enrollees pay premiums based on income and adding a four-month extension of coverage after job loss under specific conditions. It affects working Minnesotans with disabilities who currently receive medical assistance through this program. Key changes include a sliding-scale premium (1%-7.5% of income), exemption for American Indians, and a new provision allowing up to four months of continued coverage if an enrollee temporarily loses a job due to a medical condition (verified by a healthcare provider) or job loss not their fault, provided they continue paying premiums. The bill also clarifies premium calculation, reporting requirements, and Medicare reimbursement rules.
