Ensuring Access to Medicaid Buy-in Programs Act of 2024
This bill removes a 65-year age limit from Medicaid eligibility rules for working adults with disabilities. Previously, individuals with disabilities who were working and over 64 were excluded from certain Medicaid coverage options. The bill amends two specific provisions of the Social Security Act (sections 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XV) and 1905(v)(1)(A)) to eliminate this age restriction. It directly affects working adults with disabilities who were previously denied Medicaid access solely due to their age. The change updates existing Medicaid eligibility rules without creating new programs or altering benefit levels.
