What is Suspended Medical - State Bill (SB) 6430?
In the 2016 Legislative Session SB 6430 was passed, allowing clients to receive medical benefits in a suspended status while being an inmate or resident of a public institution.
The Inmate or Resident of a Public Institution? field located on the Shelter page in ACES.online and the Client Details page in ACES 3G is updated to Yes (Y), when a client is coded with one of the following living arrangement codes:
- Jail (JL)

- Institution for Mentally Diseased (IM)

The client remains active in ACES but medical coverage could be limited based on the client's incarceration status.
