Relates to eligibility for medical assistance for infants up to age three
This bill extends Medicaid eligibility for infants from under age one to under age three, directly benefiting low-income infants and their families. It sets income eligibility at 200% of the federal poverty level (based on household size) and ensures children receiving in-patient medical care at age three remain covered until their treatment ends. The law also automatically extends coverage to infants born to parents already receiving medical assistance. These changes update New York's social services law to align with federal Medicaid rules for infant care.
