Relating to the expansion of eligibility for Medicaid to certain women.

HB 3072 would expand Texas Medicaid eligibility to women aged 19-49 with household incomes at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, provided they apply for assistance and federal funding is available. The bill adds new eligibility criteria to the Human Resources Code, requiring the Health and Human Services Commission to provide medical assistance to qualifying women under these specific income and age conditions. Implementation requires notifying federal agencies and takes effect September 1, 2025, applying to new eligibility determinations made after that date regardless of when an application was submitted. This change directly affects low-income women in reproductive age groups who currently fall outside Medicaid coverage under Texas rules.
