The extension also provides new authority for continuous eligibility for children, an enhanced home and community-based benefit, health information technology (HIT) incentive-based programs, workforce initiatives, coverage for foster care youth who turned 18 years old from other states, designated state health programs, and the reentry demonstration initiative.
