H.B. No. 2060 mandates the Health and Human Services Commission to conduct a study assessing compliance with federal guidelines regarding Medicaid coverage for certain infants. The study will evaluate various aspects, including whether Medicaid coverage is provided to infants born to mothers who were Medicaid recipients at the time of birth, the requirements for application and eligibility determination, and the rules governing residency and identification numbers for infants. Additionally, the study will examine the necessity of proof of citizenship and the processes for maintaining eligibility and conducting redeterminations for infants under one year of age.
The commission is required to submit a report by September 1, 2026, summarizing the study's findings and offering legislative recommendations to enhance coverage rates for eligible infants. The bill is set to expire on September 1, 2027, and will take effect on September 1, 2025.
