Bill overview
This bill, the Dosha Joi Immediate Coverage for Former Foster Youth Act, aims to expand Medicaid coverage for young adults who have aged out of the foster care system. It modifies the existing SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to ensure that former foster youth who turn 18 are immediately eligible for Medicaid, rather than waiting until January 1, 2023. The bill also requires states to create outreach programs to help these young adults enroll in Medicaid.
