This bill removes age restrictions that currently limit Medicaid buy-in programs for working adults with disabilities. Under current law, these programs are only available to people under age 65, but this legislation would allow people of any age to participate as long as they meet other eligibility requirements and are employed. The bill affects working-age adults with disabilities who want to maintain Medicaid coverage while earning income, as well as seniors with disabilities who continue to work. The legislation contains no new federal funding requirements since it simply expands eligibility for existing Medicaid programs that states already administer. This change would give older workers with disabilities more flexibility to keep their health insurance coverage through Medicaid while continuing their employment.
