Enacts the "keep kids covered act" to provide automatic continuous enrollment in medical assistance and child health plus for certain children through age five

The Keep Kids Covered Act requires children under the age of six to remain continuously enrolled in medical assistance and Child Health Plus, even if their family's income changes or they were previously determined ineligible. To support this, the bill mandates the creation of an automated system to prevent interruptions in coverage and instructs local social services to educate families about these extended benefits. The law also clarifies that children who lose eligibility due to aging out of a specific program will retain coverage until their sixth birthday, provided they meet other federal requirements. Additionally, the commissioner of health is tasked with seeking necessary waivers to ensure the state receives federal funding for these extended benefits.
