Ensuring Access to Medicaid Buy-in Programs Act of 2026

This bill changes federal Medicaid law for working adults with disabilities who can "buy in" to Medicaid. It removes the rule that limits these optional buy-in groups to people under age 65. It adds a group of people at least 16 years old who would qualify for Supplemental Security Income except that their earnings are above the limit. States that already run these buy-in programs would have until January 1, 2028, to meet the new requirements.
