Continued submission of a report to the legislature on the use of periodic data matching in medical assistance required.

This bill requires the state's human services commissioner to continue submitting annual reports to the legislature about the use of periodic data matching in medical assistance programs. The reports must detail how many cases were affected, how many recipients were identified as possibly ineligible, how many had their eligibility terminated, and how many cases were closed due to non-cooperation. Unlike previous versions of this requirement, the bill removes the expiration date, making the reporting obligation permanent. The law directly affects the state's medical assistance administration and the legislative committees overseeing human services finance.
