HB 1305 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to MO HealthNet benefits

HB 1305 modifies Missouri's MO HealthNet eligibility rules to expand access for specific groups. It adds income thresholds (133% and 185% of federal poverty level) for children and pregnant women, automatically extends eligibility for treatment court participants after child custody changes, and removes barriers like requiring applicants to first apply for Aid to Families with Dependent Children. The bill also clarifies that children born to eligible mothers are automatically covered and simplifies application processes for qualifying families. These changes directly affect low-income children, pregnant women, and vulnerable adults currently enrolled in or seeking Medicaid coverage under Missouri's program.
