Relates to medicaid eligibility for youth leaving court ordered placement

This bill ensures that young people leaving court-ordered foster care placements are automatically considered eligible for Medicaid immediately upon release. It establishes a sixty-day window during which these youth receive coverage while their permanent eligibility status is being determined or if no application is filed. Services provided during this period are treated as official medical assistance, guaranteeing payment to healthcare providers without requiring prior approval. The law applies specifically to minors transitioning out of placements mandated by the Family Court Act.
