Why This Matters

This bill updates rules for the federal Medicaid program to require states to check every three months if enrolled people have died. It removes anyone confirmed deceased and stops future payments.

Who this affects
State Medicaid agencies · Individuals enrolled in Medicaid
What changes is this bill making?
  1. 1Beginning January 1, 2027, states must quarterly review the Death Master File (a federal record of reported deaths) to identify Medicaid enrollees who have died.
  2. 2States must treat a match as proof of death, remove that person from the state Medicaid plan, and stop future payments, while maintaining payments for services provided before death.
  3. 3If a state finds it wrongly removed someone as deceased, it must immediately reenroll that person and restore coverage back to the date of removal.
  4. 4States may use other electronic data sources to find potentially deceased beneficiaries as long as they still meet the quarterly review requirement.
  5. 5The requirement applies to all 50 states and the District of Columbia under their Medicaid programs.
