Bill overview
This bill, the Medicaid Expansion During Crisis Act, extends the time pregnant women, children, breast and cervical cancer patients, and those receiving certain family planning services have to apply for Medicaid benefits. Specifically, it increases the presumptive eligibility period by six months, giving individuals more time to complete their applications. The bill also guarantees that the federal government will pay 100% of the costs associated with these eligibility determinations during the ongoing public health emergency related to COVID-19.
