Law

This bill, introduced by Representative Kiggans, helps military families keep their Medicaid benefits and their place on waiting lists for special medical care when they move to a new state.
It focuses on services that help people with disabilities or chronic illnesses get care at home rather than in a nursing home or hospital.
Currently, when a military family moves, they often lose their spot on waiting lists that can be years long; this bill ensures they stay on the list in their new state until they are officially checked for eligibility.
The policy covers active-duty service members, those who retired in the last year, and their children or other family members who depend on them.
To help states make these changes, the bill provides $1 million in yearly funding from 2026 through 2030, with the new rules officially starting by January 2028.
