Childhood Disability Benefits Fairness Act

This bill changes a section of the Social Security Act about Medicaid eligibility. It says that a person who receives Social Security child's insurance benefits (benefits paid based on a parent's work record) would be treated as receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for Medicaid purposes, as long as the person would qualify for SSI if the child's insurance benefits were not counted. The change would apply to Medicaid eligibility decisions and re-decisions made on or after the date the bill becomes law.
