Low-income parents and legal guardians of children up to age 6 in Georgia would be eligible for the state’s Pathways to Coverage program under a new proposal unveiled by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp at the Gold Dome on Wednesday.

Kemp’s signature Pathways to Coverage program launched in 2023. It offers Medicaid health insurance to able-bodied adults who would otherwise not qualify for traditional Medicaid.

To be covered, participants can earn up to no more than 100% of the Federal Poverty Level, $15,060 for a single individual and $31,200 for a family of four.
