Bill 119 s 678, also known as the "Medicaid Eligibility Verification Act," aims to make changes to the Social Security Act in order to ensure that individuals enrolled in Medicaid are meeting the necessary eligibility criteria on a quarterly basis. This bill would require states to verify certain eligibility criteria for Medicaid recipients every three months, rather than just once a year as is currently the case. The purpose of this legislation is to prevent individuals who are no longer eligible for Medicaid from receiving benefits, thus saving taxpayer money and ensuring that those who truly need assistance are able to receive it. By requiring states to verify eligibility more frequently, the bill aims to reduce fraud and abuse within the Medicaid program. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 s 678 is to improve the integrity of the Medicaid program and ensure that it is being used appropriately. This legislation is non-partisan in nature and focuses on making practical changes to the current system in order to better serve those in need of medical assistance.
