New law requires proof of citizenship for Medicaid recipients

WASHINGTON -- More than 50 million Medicaid recipients will soon have to produce birth certificates, passports or other documents to prove that they are U.S. citizens, and everyone who applies for coverage after June 30 will have to show similar documents under a new federal law.

The requirement is meant to stop the "theft of Medicaid benefits by illegal aliens," in the words of Rep. Charlie Norwood, R-Ga., a principal author of the provision, which was signed into law by President Bush on Feb. 8.
