Bill overview
The Coronavirus Medicaid Response Act increases the federal matching rate (FMAP) for Medicaid programs in states and territories experiencing economic downturns, as defined by unemployment rates exceeding a specific threshold. This increase is in addition to previous COVID-19 FMAP boosts and is capped at 95%. The bill establishes a mechanism for determining these downturns, including using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and provides advance payments to states to account for potential FMAP increases. It also includes provisions to adjust Medicaid allotments for territories and address potential impacts on CHIP funding.
