| 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. |
