Bill overview
The Due Process Continuity of Care Act amends the Social Security Act to allow pretrial detainees, who are currently ineligible for Medicaid, to receive benefits at the state’s option while they are in custody. The bill also provides funding and guidance to states through planning grants to help them establish systems for providing Medicaid coverage to these individuals. This aims to ensure that individuals held in custody have access to necessary medical care during the legal process.
