Effective January 1, 2014, the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes a provision which allows all young people
who were or are in foster care at age 18 to retain Medicaid coverage up to age
26.
The State Policy Advocacy and
Reform Center (SPARC) has released a new brief outlining key steps child
welfare stakeholders can take to ensure Medicaid coverage for these youth.
SPARC has also released a new communications toolkit to facilitate
outreach aimed at communicating the changes in the law to foster youth.
