Changes the duration of continued Medicaid eligibility tied to pregnancy from the prior 12-month postpartum period (with a 6-month reference) to not less than 24 months, altering a pregnancy-related benefit without addressing abortion access directly.
for a period of not less than 24 [deleted: : (1) six] months following the last month of the woman's pregnancy [deleted: date the woman delivers or experiences an involuntary miscarriage; and (2) 12 months that begins on the last day of the woman's pregnancy and ends on the last day of the month in which the 12-month period ends in accordance with Section 1902(e)(16), Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Section 1396a(e)(16))].
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Human Resources Code §32.024(l-1) to extend postpartum Medicaid eligibility from the prior 12-month period (deleting references to 6 and 12 months) to at least 24 months following pregnancy. This expands funding-insurance for postpartum care but does not address abortion access, gestational limits, or other abortion-specific provisions, so the second tag is neutral on the abortion axis.
