Care for Military Kids Act of 2025

The Care for Military Kids Act of 2025 requires states to treat military-connected children and dependents as residents of their new state for Medicaid eligibility when relocating due to active duty service, effective January 1, 2028. It ensures these families maintain their place on home care service waiting lists after relocation without needing to restart eligibility processes. The bill mandates states to cover medical assistance for these families in their new state and preserves their waiting list status until a service slot becomes available or they opt out. Implementation funding of $1 million annually (2026-2030) supports this policy change.
