From January 1, 2030 a relocated service member counts as a resident
What the document says“that, for purposes of determining eligibility for medical assistance under the State plan (or waiver of such plan), such active duty relocated individual is treated as a resident of the State unless such individual voluntarily elects not to be so treated for such purposes;”
Section 6103 adds a new paragraph (90) to section 1902(a) of the Social Security Act. Beginning January 1, 2030, a state plan must treat an active duty relocated individual as a resident of the State when deciding eligibility for medical assistance, unless the individual chooses otherwise.
What the document actually says“that, for purposes of determining eligibility for medical assistance under the State plan (or waiver of such plan), such active duty relocated individual is treated as a resident of the State unless such individual voluntarily elects not to be so treated for such purposes;”
The new state must count the person as living there when it checks who can get care. The person may say no to that.
A state health plan covers people who live in that state. A move can break that link. This part keeps it whole.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
