Idaho Medicaid Non-Pregnant Childless Adult Waiver (Idaho Adult Access Card Demonstration)

This demonstration provides a subsidy for employer sponsored insurance (ESI) coverage to uninsured childless adults who are not eligible for Medicaid with incomes up to 185% FPL. Prior to January 1, 2010, the population served by this demonstration received an identical benefit under title XXI through the Children's Access Card Demonstration (21-W-00018/10 and 11-W-00187/10). Section 2111(a) of the Social Security Act, as enacted by section 112 of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, ended title XXI funding for childless adults' coverage, and provided the opportunity for the State to request this Medicaid demonstration to continue coverage for the affected childless adult population through XIX.
