An act relating to eligibility for Dr. Dynasaur for young adults up to 26 years of age
This bill expands Vermont's Dr. Dynasaur program to cover all young adults under age 26 who live in Vermont and have incomes at or below 312% of the federal poverty level. It directly affects Vermont residents aged 18-26 who currently might not qualify for the program due to age or income limits. The key change amends eligibility rules to remove previous restrictions, making coverage available to all qualifying young adults regardless of prior enrollment status. The program, administered under federal Medicaid/SCHIP rules, will take effect on July 1, 2025.
