Community Health, Department of; review information from certain sources to determine and verify eligibility of Medicaid recipients; provide
A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Chapter 4 of Title 49 of the O.C.G.A., relating to public assistance, so as to provide for the Department of Community Health to regularly and systematically review information from certain sources to determine and verify eligibility of Medicaid recipients; to provide for related matters; to provide for a state plan amendment or waiver request; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
Prohibits Medicaid applicants and recipients from using self-attestation to verify income, residency, or identity and reduces retroactive Medicaid coverage from three months to two months. If enacted, the bill risks erroneous disenrollments similar to the post-pandemic Medicaid unwinding and could expose Georgia to significant federal compliance liability.
Did not cross over in 2025 session.
