| This bill raises the eligibility level for the Cub Care |
| program from 200% to 300% of the federal nonfarm income official |
| poverty line and sets premium levels. The bill directs the |
| Department of Human Services to amend its rules regarding |
| eligibility for the Medicaid buy-in program for persons with |
| disabilities. The rules must designate as a categorically needy |
| eligibility group individuals whose family income is less than |
| 350% of the federal nonfarm income official poverty line and who, |
| except for their earned income, would be considered to be |
| receiving supplemental security income benefits. The rules must |
| eliminate separate caps on earned and unearned income. The rules |
| are designated as routine technical rules. |
