WY SF 6: Eligibility for Medicaid-criteria.

Score 58PRIMARYregulatoryState legislatureWY

Summary

Wyoming SF 6, enacted as Chapter 21, codifies existing state eligibility criteria for Medicaid into statute, including requirements related to citizenship, Wyoming residency, and disability or SSI entitlement. The Department of Health is authorized to promulgate implementing rules. The law applies to Medicaid applications submitted or renewed on or after July 1, 2027.

What this may mean

The law locks current Wyoming Medicaid eligibility standards into statutory form, limiting administrative flexibility to expand or modify eligibility without legislative action. Applications and renewals filed on or after July 1, 2027 are governed by the codified criteria. Managed care plans and providers serving Wyoming Medicaid beneficiaries may see the statutory codification create additional procedural stability but also potential rigidity if federal Medicaid rules change.
