The state must check a death file at least every three months
What the document says“The State shall, not less frequently than quarterly, review the Death Master File (as such term is defined in section 203(d) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013) or a successor system”
The section requires the State, at least quarterly, to review the Death Master File as defined in section 203(d) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, or a successor system giving the same information, to see whether anyone enrolled for medical assistance under the State plan or a waiver has died.
What the document actually says“The State shall, not less frequently than quarterly, review the Death Master File (as such term is defined in section 203(d) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013) or a successor system”
The state must check a federal death file. That must happen at least every three months. A newer system may take its place.
The file lists people recorded as dead. The check covers everyone on the rolls. It also covers people under a waiver.
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.
