LIVE Beneficiaries Act

This bill requires states administering Medicaid to verify the living status of beneficiaries quarterly starting in 2027 by checking the federal Death Master File. States must disenroll individuals confirmed deceased and stop payments for future services, while also reinstating coverage immediately if an error occurs. It directly affects all 50 states and the District of Columbia managing Medicaid programs and their enrolled beneficiaries. The key mechanism is mandatory quarterly death verification to prevent continued payments for deceased individuals, with specific rules for error correction.
