Alaska HB151 proposes continuous medical assistance eligibility for children under six years old.

HB151 amends Alaska's medical assistance plan to ensure children under six years old remain eligible for benefits until they turn six. The bill also allows children aged six to 19 to remain eligible for up to 11 months. The changes take effect only if the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services approves the state plan amendments or determines approval is unnecessary.
