Minnesota bill HF894 makes undocumented noncitizens ineligible for MinnesotaCare.

Minnesota bill HF894 amends the state's health care statutes to exclude undocumented noncitizens from eligibility for MinnesotaCare.

Undocumented noncitizens, defined as those residing in the U.S. without approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, are explicitly ineligible. The bill also maintains that families with citizen or national children may still qualify under certain conditions. The changes take effect the day after final enactment.
