HF 4038 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Eligibility for the MinnesotaCare program modified to eliminate eligibility for undocumented noncitizens.

This bill modifies MinnesotaCare eligibility rules to exclude undocumented noncitizens from receiving coverage. It directly affects individuals residing in Minnesota without legal immigration status, removing their access to the state's health insurance program. The legislation defines undocumented noncitizens as those living in the United States without approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and requires families with citizen children to provide documentation proving their citizenship status. The change takes effect immediately upon final enactment, with no grandfathering provisions for adults who were previously enrolled in MinnesotaCare.
