Corrected: House Financial Services Subcommittee to Hold Hearing on Work and Health Care for HUD Tenants.

Hearing is on MONDAY, not Saturday....

Hearing is scheduled for Friday in NYC; hearing page is HERE.

I am hopeful that hearing includes discussion about Express Lane income eligibility provisions that would allow housing authority income determinations to be used for Medicaid/SCHIP care eligibility.
(See my prior blog post on Express Lane HERE).

I project that housing authorities provide housing for close to 4 million children nationwide.

A fuller explanation of Express Lane and automated enrollment in Medicaid and SCHIP can be found in this Urban Institute publication HERE.

(I have tried to contact two different individuals in Oregon DHS but to date have had no response to my Express Lane questions).
