Summary


The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services has clarified that individuals who reside in certain halfway houses are eligible for Federal Financial Participation (FFP). This amendment, therefore, allows an individual who resides in a qualified halfway house to receive Medicaid coverage. Based upon the "quick enrollment" pilot project with state prisons, the Department anticipates that less than 15 individuals will qualify for Medicaid. This amendment also updates incorporations by reference, removes language associated with the incorporations, and makes other technical changes.
