## Summary

**Would deny federal premium tax credits and allow states to refuse Medicaid to people listed as sex offenders.** The bill uses the Adam Walsh Act definition of "sex offender" to limit two federal health supports for that group. - Individuals and families: An individual identified as a sex offender, and that person's spouse on a joint tax return, would be ineligible for the premium tax credit that helps pay for Marketplace health insurance for taxable years ending after enactment. This removes a refundable tax benefit that reduces out‑of‑pocket premium costs. - Medicaid enrollees and states: States would get an explicit option to withhold Medicaid medical assistance from people who meet the Adam Walsh Act definition, even for people enrolled or reenrolled under a State plan or waiver on or after enactment. That option overrides some existing Medicaid eligibility protections and shifts a coverage decision to states.
