New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
The Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) provides States with numerous flexibilities in operating their State Medicaid Programs. Section 6062 of the DRA allows States the opportunity to provide Medicaid benefits to disabled children who would otherwise be ineligible because of family income that is above the State's highest Medicare eligibility standards for children. It specifically allows families with disabled children to "buy-in" to Medicaid, and prevents them from having to stay impoverished, become impoverished, place their children in out-of-home placements, or simply give up custody of their child in order to access needed health care for their disabled children.
