Summary

Provides that a woman who, while pregnant, is eligible for, has applied for, and has received State Medicaid plan assistance shall continue to be eligible under the plan for such family planning services and supplies until the woman's income exceeds the maximum income level established by the State for the woman to be Medicaid- eligible (as a result of pregnancy or otherwise).
