To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 71119

The section requires the State, under standards the Secretary specifies, to tell enrolled applicable individuals about the requirement, starting before the start date by the number of months the State specifies plus three months, and periodically after. The notice must explain how to comply, the exceptions, who is an applicable individual, what happens on noncompliance, and how to report a change in status.

What the document actually says

“the State shall notify applicable individuals enrolled under a State plan (or waiver) under this title of the requirement to demonstrate community engagement under this subsection.”

That sentence, in plain words

The state must tell people on Medicaid about the rule. That covers those the rule reaches.

What this is about

The first notice comes months before the rule bites. More follow from time to time. Each explains how to comply and what happens if you do not.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
