Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide a temporary increase in FMAP for medical assistance under State Medicaid plans which begin to expend amounts for newly eligible mandatory individuals.
AI Summary
This bill, the Expand Medicaid Now Act, aims to temporarily increase the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), which is the federal government's share of Medicaid costs, by 5 percentage points for states that begin expanding Medicaid coverage to all newly eligible mandatory individuals under the Affordable Care Act. The increased FMAP would apply for an 8-quarter (2-year) period, but would not apply to disproportionate share hospital payments, the enhanced FMAP for the Children's Health Insurance Program, or funding for certain other social services programs. The bill targets "qualifying states," which are defined as states that have not already expanded Medicaid to cover all newly eligible individuals prior to the enactment of this legislation.
