AN ACT relating to Medicaid eligibility.

This bill would extend Medicaid coverage for new parents from 12 months to 24 months after giving birth. The change means eligible parents could remain covered by Medicaid for a full two years postpartum instead of losing coverage after one year. Who it may affect: new parents who receive Medicaid coverage, particularly low-income mothers in the postpartum period.
