This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256L.04, subdivision 10, to establish that undocumented noncitizens are ineligible for MinnesotaCare. The language specifies that eligibility for MinnesotaCare is limited to individuals who are lawfully present in the United States and have incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. The bill removes previous language that allowed for broader eligibility and clarifies the definition of undocumented noncitizens as individuals residing in the U.S. without the approval of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the requirement for families with children who are U.S. citizens or nationals to provide satisfactory documentary evidence of citizenship or nationality, in accordance with federal law. The effective date of this amendment is set for the day following its final enactment.
