Ending Federal Medicaid Funding for Unauthorized Immigrant Administrative Costs
This bill aims to prohibit the use of federal Medicaid funds for administrative costs related to providing health benefits to individuals who do not have lawful immigration status. This means states will need to self-finance these costs, potentially impacting their budgets and how healthcare is delivered to this group. The bill also mandates a report from the Inspector General to assess how states are managing these changes.
Key points
Federal Medicaid money can no longer be used for administrative costs of healthcare for individuals without lawful immigration status.
States will need to find other funding sources or adjust how they manage healthcare benefits for this group.
The Inspector General will report on how states separate administrative costs, ensure compliance, and finance health programs for those without lawful immigration status.
