A BILL To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide the same level of Federal matching assistance for every State that chooses to expand Medicaid coverage to newly eligible individuals, regardless of when such expansion takes place.
AI Summary
This bill, the Incentivizing Medicaid Expansion Act of 2021, amends the Social Security Act to provide the same level of federal matching assistance (known as the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage or FMAP) for every state that chooses to expand Medicaid coverage to newly eligible individuals, regardless of when such expansion takes place. Specifically, the bill extends the period during which states receive the enhanced FMAP rate for Medicaid expansion from the initial 3 years to 7 consecutive years, with the enhanced rate continuing in each year thereafter. This is intended to encourage more states to expand Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
