Strengthening Medicaid for Serious Mental Illness Act

This bill increases federal Medicaid funding for states that provide specific community-based mental health services to eligible adults. It directly affects adults aged 21+ with serious mental illness who earn under 150% of the poverty line. States qualify for higher federal funding (3-25 percentage points) based on offering at least three of seven defined services, including assertive community treatment, supported employment, peer support, and mobile crisis intervention. The bill requires services to be provided in the most integrated setting possible, meets quality standards to prevent hospitalization, and mandates states to collect and report demographic and outcome data every two years.
