HB 2060 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a study on the coverage of certain infants under Medicaid.

HB 2060 requires Texas' Health and Human Services Commission to study how Medicaid covers infants born to mothers who were Medicaid recipients at the time of birth. The study examines specific practices, including whether separate applications are needed for these infants, if residency with the mother is required for eligibility, how Medicaid IDs are handled, and if citizenship proof is required before the infant turns one year old. The Commission must assess compliance with federal guidelines on continuous coverage until the infant reaches age one, unless they die, move out of state, or are voluntarily disenrolled. The Commission must submit a written report with findings and legislative recommendations by September 1, 2026. This bill does not change current Medicaid policy but mandates an evaluation of existing administrative practices affecting infant coverage.
