More Medicaid help for children

Beginning July 1, 2026, North Dakota excludes children's Social Security survivor income and court-ordered child support when deciding medical assistance eligibility. This applies to children under 18 enrolled in a Medicaid waiver under section 1915(c) of the Social Security Act. The law also expands in-home Medicaid waiver services to children with autism under 21 who meet institutional-level care requirements. This means they need the level of care normally provided in an institution. The state can also offer in-home waivers for children with extraordinary medical needs and prioritize applicants by their level of need.
