The Care for Military Kids Act amends Medicaid to establish residency and coverage requirements for military families.
The Care for Military Kids Act amends title XIX of the Social Security Act to establish State plan requirements for determining residency and coverage for military families. It defines an "active duty relocated individual" as someone who is enrolled in Medicaid, or was enrolled within the last 12 months, and relocates due to military service. The Act ensures that such individuals are treated as residents of the state unless they opt out. It also mandates that individuals on a home and community-based services waiting list remain on it until they are assessed or choose to leave.
