Extends continuous eligibility for medical assistance for children until the earlier of one year from eligibility determination or the child's 19th.

Texas HB780 amends the Human Resources Code to extend the period of continuous eligibility for medical assistance for children. The bill mandates that children remain eligible for medical assistance without additional review by the commission, regardless of changes in their resources or income, until the earlier of one year from the date their eligibility was determined or their 19th birthday. The executive commissioner is required to adopt rules in accordance with federal law to implement this change.
