MinnesotaCare ineligibility for undocumented noncitizens provision
This bill amends Minnesota law to explicitly state that undocumented noncitizens (those living in the U.S. without U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approval) are ineligible for MinnesotaCare, the state's health care program. It directly affects undocumented immigrants seeking health coverage through MinnesotaCare, removing their eligibility. The key provision adds a clear citizenship requirement to the statute, defining undocumented noncitizens and stating they cannot qualify for the program. This change does not impact lawfully present noncitizens or individuals with incomes under 200% of the federal poverty level who qualify for other health assistance.
