Montana HB881 revises Medicaid buy-in program to include children with disabilities.

Montana HB881 revises the Medicaid buy-in program to include children with disabilities. The bill amends eligibility criteria to allow children under 19 with disabilities to participate if their family income is below a certain threshold. It also adjusts income and resource limitations, ensuring they comply with federal law. The bill appropriates funds for the program and extends rulemaking authority to the Department of Public Health and Human Services. The changes aim to provide medical coverage to children with disabilities who would otherwise be ineligible due to income limits.
