Bill overview
The Care for Military Kids Act amends the Social Security Act to ensure that active-duty military members and their families maintain Medicaid coverage when temporarily relocating for military duty. Specifically, it requires states to treat these relocations as temporary absences for residency purposes and to preserve a family’s place on a home and community-based services waiting list during the move. This legislation aims to provide continuity of care for military families facing frequent relocations.
