Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XI of the Social Security Act to increase the payment limit under Medicaid for the Northern Mariana Islands.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Northern Mariana Islands Medicaid Advancement Act, aims to increase the amount of federal funding available to the Northern Mariana Islands for its Medicaid program. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage to low-income individuals and families. Currently, there are limits on how much federal money territories like the Northern Mariana Islands can receive for Medicaid. This bill proposes to amend Section 1108(g)(2)(D) of the Social Security Act, which governs these limits, by allowing the Northern Mariana Islands to receive funding for fiscal year 2026 at a level comparable to American Samoa, effectively raising the payment limit for the territory.
