Bill overview
This bill, the Restoring Fairness to Medicaid Reimbursement Act of 2020, aims to return Medicaid funding to its pre-2021 levels for states that expanded Medicaid eligibility. Specifically, it eliminates the increased federal matching rate (FMAP) that has been in place since 2021 for newly eligible adults under the Affordable Care Act. This means states will receive the standard federal share of Medicaid costs, rather than the higher rate currently applied to expansion populations. The bill also provides states with an option to continue offering Medicaid coverage to these individuals.
