Bill overview
The Disaster Relief Medicaid Act provides temporary Medicaid coverage to individuals and families affected by federally declared disasters, national emergencies, or public health emergencies. It aims to assist survivors who meet specific income requirements and were either residents or employed in the impacted area, offering coverage for up to two years after the disaster declaration. States must provide coverage at least as comprehensive as their existing Medicaid programs, with a 100% federal matching rate for these disaster-related expenses, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will evaluate the program’s impact.
