The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 153, aims to expand Medicaid eligibility for older adults with disabilities by amending section 17b-261 of the 2026 supplement to the general statutes. The key change involves disregarding certain income for individuals identified as adult disabled children under Title II of the Social Security Act, which aligns with an amendment previously sponsored by former U.S. Representative James Pickle and incorporated into federal Medicaid law. This legislative change is intended to enhance access to Medicaid for older adults with disabilities by allowing them to qualify for benefits without being penalized for specific income sources. The bill reflects a commitment to improving healthcare access for vulnerable populations, ensuring that older adults with disabilities receive the support they need.
