Amendment to SB 257
Amend the bill by replacing section 3 with the following:
3 Duties. The committee shall study the possibility of changing Medicaid eligibility determinations in New Hampshire from SSI 209b to SSA 1634 as 39 other states currently do. The committee shall examine the alternative pathways for Medicaid eligibility determinations, identify the states that provide Medicaid coverage automatically as part of the SSI application process (known as 1634 states), and those states, like New Hampshire, that apply more restrictive eligibility criteria than the SSI criteria (known as 209(b) states). The committee shall solicit information from the department of health and human services and county nursing homes as part of the study.
