HR 1598 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Ensuring Access to Medicaid Buy-in Programs Act
To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to remove certain age restrictions on Medicaid eligibility for working adults with disabilities.
Summary
This bill amends Medicaid law to remove age restrictions on buy-in programs for working adults with disabilities, eliminating a previous upper age limit of 65. The change allows working adults with disabilities to remain on Medicaid even after reaching age 65. States that already provide coverage to these populations will have until January 1, 2027, to comply with the modified requirements.
