The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5091, seeks to amend title 17b of the general statutes regarding medical assistance for undocumented immigrants and the asset limits for HUSKY C. The bill stipulates that to be eligible for medical assistance, an undocumented resident must have lived in the state for at least one year and must have applied for legal immigration status. This insertion aims to ensure that medical assistance is directed towards individuals who have established a longer-term presence in the state and are actively seeking legal status.

Additionally, the bill proposes to increase the asset limits for HUSKY C, raising the limit to five thousand dollars for unmarried individuals and seven thousand five hundred dollars for married couples. This change is intended to provide more financial flexibility for low-income families and individuals who qualify for this assistance program. Overall, the bill aims to better target state medical assistance to the most vulnerable residents while also adjusting asset limits to accommodate their needs.
