Expands Medicaid eligibility for older adults with disabilities by disregarding certain income.

The bill amends section 17b-261 of the 2026 supplement to the general statutes to expand Medicaid eligibility for older adults with disabilities. It disregards certain income for individuals identified as adult disabled children under Title II of the Social Security Act. This change aligns with an amendment sponsored by former United States Representative James Pickle and incorporated into federal Medicaid law.
