AI Summary
This bill, the States Achieve Medicaid Expansion Act of 2021 (or SAME Act of 2021), amends 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 the expansion takes place. Specifically, it extends the 100% federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for newly eligible Medicaid beneficiaries for the first three consecutive 12-month periods, and gradually reduces the FMAP to 90% for the seventh and subsequent 12-month periods. The bill also applies these changes retroactively to amounts expended by any state for medical assistance to newly eligible Medicaid individuals before the date of enactment.
