Bill overview
The Disaster Relief Medicaid Act aims to provide immediate healthcare coverage to individuals and families affected by federally declared disasters, national emergencies, or public health emergencies. It establishes a program allowing eligible survivors, including those residing in or employed in impacted areas, to receive Medicaid coverage for up to two years after a disaster declaration. States must offer coverage at least as comprehensive as their existing Medicaid plans, with a 100% federal matching rate applied to these disaster-related expenses. The bill also includes provisions for streamlined application processes and extended mental health services for survivors.
