Staff attorney Alice Bussiere represented amici before the US Supreme Court in this case, which expanded by some 450,000 the number of poor children able to obtain both cash benefits and Medicaid coverage through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. Following the Supreme Court victory, NCYL worked with other advocates to publicize the ruling so that eligible families would have the information they needed to apply for benefits.
