Today, the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a State Health Official letter that
provided guidance on several legislative changes to the modified adjusted
gross income (MAGI)-based methodologies used for determining Medicaid and CHIP
eligibility. In order to implement the changes to MAGI-based methods
described in this letter, states may need to make updates to eligibility
policies and procedures and changes to eligibility systems logic. In
addition, states will need to be able to collect the relevant application
information in order to make accurate Medicaid and CHIP determinations.
Capturing the information may involve changes to applications and other
forms, additional instructions or help text, or new application questions.
CMS remains available to provide technical assistance to states on the
implementation of such changes to ensure that they are able to make the
changes as soon as possible.
