Bill > SB506

This bill directs the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to establish community engagement and work requirements for the state's Granite Advantage Health Care Program (expanded Medicaid). Specifically, the bill requires DHHS to submit documentation to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) by December 1, 2026, or within 30 days of the federal application template's publication, to implement these requirements in accordance with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. The department must first submit its proposed plan to the fiscal committee for review and provide quarterly reports through December 31, 2026, and then annual reports thereafter, updating key state officials on the status of the plan and implementation. The bill also suspends existing state provisions related to community engagement and work requirements, aligning them with federal requirements under Public Law 119-21. If federal requirements are eliminated, the DHHS commissioner must immediately notify various state officials in writing. The bill aims to introduce conditions for Medicaid eligibility that likely involve participants meeting certain work or community service requirements, though specific details are not fully outlined in the provided text.
