A Technical Guide for States to Reduce Procedural Terminations from Medicaid’s Work Reporting Requirements
This technical guide provides a framework for state agencies to minimize procedural terminations and health coverage losses resulting from new Medicaid work reporting requirements.
The resource offers specific policy and technical recommendations, such as simplifying the verification process through self-attestation, prioritizing ex parte (automatic) data renewals, and implementing robust hardship exemptions to reduce churn.
It emphasizes the importance of system testing with actual Medicaid recipients and advocates to ensure accessibility for those with disabilities or limited English proficiency. Furthermore, the guide details how states should maximize vendor accountability by using open-source software, building “off switches” to pause terminations when errors occur, and maintaining public-facing reports on system performance and error rates.
