Due to recent changes in federal law, individuals who declare that they are citizens for Medicaid eligibility purposes must present documentation that proves citizenship and documents personal identity. This report discusses issues related to Medicaid citizenship documentation that have received considerable media and interest group attention, as well as proposed legislation (including H.R. 210, H.R. 1238, H.R. 1328, S. 1200, S. 751, S. 909, H.R. 1535, S. 895, H.R. 1878, H.R. 2055, S. 1364, S. 1893/H.R. 976, H.R. 3269, H.R. 3162, and H.R. 3176 in the 110th Congress) that would affect the requirement. It will be updated to reflect significant legislative or other activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
