A03139 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
 submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)




 
BILL NUMBER: A3139
 
SPONSOR: Rosenthal

 
TITLE OF BILL:
 
An act to amend the social services law, in relation to authorizing
Medicaid coverage to disabled persons attending an out-of-state college
or university who are in need of continuous medical care
 
 
PURPOSE:
 
This bill ensures that disabled New York State residents who receive
Medicaid health insurance can continue to receive such benefits while
they are furthering their education at out-of-state colleges and univer-
sities.
 
 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section one amends section 366 of the social services law by adding new
subdivision 16.
 
Section two sets forth the effective date.
 
 
JUSTIFICATION:
 
Disabled New Yorkers seeking to enroll in institutions of higher learn-
ing face additional impediments to finding an appropriate location to
study. These choices could be expanded if those eligible for Medicaid
payments could continue to receive these benefits while enrolled in an
out-of-state academic institution. As legal New York State residents,
the relatively few students this would apply to should be allowed to
pursue their education unrestricted.
