Removing Certain Age Restrictions on Medicaid Eligibility for Working Adults with Disabilities
Section 6102 · Sec. 6102 ·
What this chapter is about
This part strikes an age cap from the Social Security Act. It adds a group of people age 16 and up who work and would get aid but for what they earn. States already covering these groups get until January 1, 2028 to line up.

What the document says
“Section 1905(v)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(v)(1)(A)) is amended by striking ``, but less than 65,''.”
Section 6102 strikes the phrase but less than 65 in two places: in subclause (XV) of section 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii) of the Social Security Act, and in section 1905(v)(1)(A) of that Act.
What the document actually says
“Section 1905(v)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d(v)(1)(A)) is amended by striking ``, but less than 65,''.”
That sentence, in plain words
In one part of the Social Security Act, cross out four words: but less than 65.
What this is about
The old words set a top age. With them gone, the age cap is gone. The heading names working adults with a disability.
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.
“``(xviii) individuals who, but for earnings in excess of the limit established under subsection (q)(2)(B), would be considered to be receiving supplemental security income, and who are at least 16 years of age,''.”
Section 6102 adds a new clause (xviii) to section 1905(a) of the Social Security Act. It describes people at least 16 years of age who would be treated as receiving supplemental security income but for earnings above the limit set under subsection (q)(2)(B). Subclause (XV) is also amended to name at least that group, and subclause (XVI) to name at least the group described in section 1905(a)(xii).
What the document actually says
“``(xviii) individuals who, but for earnings in excess of the limit established under subsection (q)(2)(B), would be considered to be receiving supplemental security income, and who are at least 16 years of age,''.”
That sentence, in plain words
This covers people who are 16 or older. They would count as getting a cash aid check, except that they earn too much.
What this is about
There is a monthly check for people with little money and a disability. Work pay can push a person over the line for it.

The document says “shall not”Who acts: Secretary of Health and Human ServicesHow: statuteSec. 6102 in the PDF
What the document says
“A State that, as of the date of enactment of this Act, provides for making medical assistance available to individuals described in subclause (XV) or (XVI) of section 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)) shall not be regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of the amendments made by subsection (a) before January 1, 2028.”
Subsection (b) of section 6102 provides that a State already making medical assistance available to individuals described in subclause (XV) or (XVI) as of the date of enactment is not regarded as out of compliance with the amendments before January 1, 2028.
What the document actually says
“A State that, as of the date of enactment of this Act, provides for making medical assistance available to individuals described in subclause (XV) or (XVI) of section 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)) shall not be regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of the amendments made by subsection (a) before January 1, 2028.”
That sentence, in plain words
A state that already covers these groups is not treated as breaking the new rule. That holds until January 1, 2028.
What this is about
A state must change its plan to match a new rule. That takes time. This part gives such a state about two years.
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.
The main things the section does: strike the phrase that set an upper age bound in two places, add a new clause (xviii) describing the covered group, name that group and clause (xii) in the buy-in subclauses, and give certain States until January 1, 2028 to comply.
The mechanical amendments that only move the word or and a comma between clauses.
The section amends the Social Security Act, which is not indexed here. What the buy-in groups at section 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii) otherwise cover is not recorded on this site.
