Family Opportunity Act (FOA)

Federal legislation that gives states the option of providing Medicaid coverage to children who meet the disability standard used in the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, but who are over the income limits for SSI. The FOA also amends Title V of the Social Security Act (Maternal and Child Health Services) to provide appropriations for the MCHB Division of Services for Children with Special Health Care Needs to develop Family-to-Family Health Information Centers in each of the fifty states.
