Expands health coverage for more former foster youth up to age 26.
This bill would make sure more young adults who were in foster care can keep their health insurance through Medicaid until they turn 26. It would expand who qualifies for this coverage, including those who went to live with family guardians or became independent before age 18. States would also need to set up programs to help these young people sign up for coverage.
Today, only former foster youth who were in state care at age 18 qualify for Medicaid until age 26. If this bill passes, Medicaid coverage would expand to include former foster youth under 26 who entered a family guardianship or became independent before age 18. States would also have to create programs to help these newly eligible young adults enroll.
