HB 567 extends Kentucky Medicaid eligibility for new mothers from 12 to 24 months after childbirth. The bill directly affects low-income new mothers in Kentucky who currently lose coverage after one year but would retain it for two years under this change. Key provisions amend Kentucky law to update the postpartum eligibility period while maintaining the income requirement (up to 185% of federal poverty guidelines). This policy change aims to provide continued healthcare access during the critical postpartum period without altering existing income thresholds or federal funding rules. The bill is currently under review by the House Health Services Committee.
