Illinois will become the first state to provide Medicaid for undocumented seniors.
You can find it near the end of the budget implementation bill that passed the Illinois General Assembly late Saturday night was a provision giving Medicaid access to non-citizens over 65 years old and whose income is $12,670 or less, which is at or under the federal poverty level.
Medicaid services for qualified undocumented seniors will kick in July 1 when the 2021 budget year begins.
