AN ACT
To amend chapter 208, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to Medicaid home- and community-based waiver.
Section A. Chapter 208, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 208.805, to read as follows:
208.805. In determining Medicaid eligibility for and providing Medicaid benefits to persons eligible for services through a home- and community-based waiver pursuant to Section 1915C of the federal Social Security Act, the department of social services shall, subject to appropriations, use the same age restrictions, division of assets, and income allowances that are used in determining Medicaid eligibility for and providing Medicaid benefits to persons requiring institutional care. The department shall apply to the United States Department of Health and Human Services for a Medicaid waiver amendment to the home- and community-based waiver if such amendment is necessary to implement the provisions of this section.
