Medicaid coverage denied for sex offenders
This bill would let the federal government exclude Federal payments for medical assistance provided to individuals who are sex offenders as defined in section 111 of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. It would let States elect not to make Medicaid medical assistance available to such individuals. The rule would apply to people enrolled or reenrolled under a State Medicaid plan or waiver on or after the date of enactment. If a State makes that election, affected enrollees would lose Medicaid-covered care.
Sex offenders lose premium tax credit
This bill would make you ineligible for the refundable premium tax credit if you or your spouse is a sex offender as defined in section 111 of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. The ineligibility would apply if the sex-offender status exists on the last day of the taxable year. This rule would apply to taxable years ending after the date of enactment. Households that lose the credit would pay more for health insurance or owe more tax.
