Certain States are not out of compliance before January 1, 2028
What the document says“A State that, as of the date of enactment of this Act, provides for making medical assistance available to individuals described in subclause (XV) or (XVI) of section 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)) shall not be regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of the amendments made by subsection (a) before January 1, 2028.”
Subsection (b) of section 6102 provides that a State already making medical assistance available to individuals described in subclause (XV) or (XVI) as of the date of enactment is not regarded as out of compliance with the amendments before January 1, 2028.
What the document actually says“A State that, as of the date of enactment of this Act, provides for making medical assistance available to individuals described in subclause (XV) or (XVI) of section 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)) shall not be regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of the amendments made by subsection (a) before January 1, 2028.”
A state that already covers these groups is not treated as breaking the new rule. That holds until January 1, 2028.
A state must change its plan to match a new rule. That takes time. This part gives such a state about two years.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
