CMS Guidance: Working Families Tax Cut Legislation

This site contains resources explaining the 2025 Working Families Tax Cut Act (WFTC) — formally Public Law 119-21, which changes eligibility, financing, and community-engagement requirements for Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Published Year: 2025

The resource summarizes key reforms under WFTC — including tightened enrollment and verification rules, new financing safeguards requiring states to meet their fiscal commitments, and expanded community-engagement provisions tied to health coverage eligibility.

It provides states and stakeholders with official guidance, technical-assistance materials, and links to rulemaking efforts and detailed informational bulletins to support implementation of these Medicaid and CHIP changes.
