To amend titles XIX and XXI of the Social Security Act to permit States to expand coverage for children between 19 and 25 years of age under Medicaid and under the State child health insurance program (SCHIP).

H.R. 2581 is a legislative proposal that would allow states to extend health insurance coverage to young adults between the ages of 19 and 25 through Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Under current rules at the time of the bill's introduction, eligibility for these programs typically ended when a child reached age 19. If enacted, this bill would give states the option to provide continued government-sponsored health coverage to low-income young adults who are transitioning into the workforce or pursuing higher education.
