This bill removes age restrictions that currently limit Medicaid coverage for working adults with disabilities. Under existing law, people with disabilities who work can buy into Medicaid to maintain health insurance, but this option is only available to those under age 65. The legislation strikes the age cap, allowing older working adults with disabilities to continue accessing Medicaid buy-in programs instead of being forced onto Medicare at age 65. This change primarily affects disabled workers over 65 who want to keep working and maintain their preferred health coverage. The bill does not specify new funding requirements or implementation timelines, as it primarily modifies eligibility rules in the existing Medicaid program.
