Does the state Medicaid program cover the "aged and disabled" with incomes at or above 100 percent of the 2006 FPL?
States demonstrate a commitment to the aged and disabled when they implement the option in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA '86) (Pub. L. 100–203, 101 Stat. 1330) and expand income eligibility to or above 100 percent of FPL. States that have implemented the OBRA '86 option receive a "meets policy." States receive a "no policy" if they have not implemented the OBRA '86 option.
