FL SB 1016: Medical Assistance Eligibility for Working Persons with Disabilities
Summary
Florida SB 1016 proposes creation of a Working People with Disabilities program within the Agency for Health Care Administration, establishing Medicaid eligibility for working adults with disabilities based on specified income and asset criteria. The bill requires the Department of Children and Families to provide written notices to eligible adults at initial enrollment in Medicaid waiver programs and at least annually thereafter.
What this may mean
If enacted, the bill creates a new Medicaid eligibility category in Florida for working persons with disabilities, with defined income and asset thresholds administered by AHCA. DCF would face new written-notice obligations to enrollees in specified Medicaid waiver programs on an annual basis.
