Families USA to Host Conference Call for DRA Citizen Verification Guidance

On Friday, June 9th, with just three weeks until the law goes into effect--and after most people had gone home for the weekend--the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued guidance to states on implementing the new citizenship documentation requirement for Medicaid. This new law requires that, starting on July 1st, the 50 million U.S. citizens currently enrolled in Medicaid provide documentation of their citizenship status and their identity. Furthermore, after July 1st, new applicants will no longer be able to enroll in Medicaid until they have successfully proven their citizenship status and identity.

To help inform state advocates about the new requirement and the CMS guidance, Families USA will host a conference call on Monday, June 19th, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time.
