KY HJR 24: A JOINT RESOLUTION directing the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to withdraw all waiver applications that have been submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to establish a community engagement program, and declaring an emergency.

What this may mean

The mandatory withdrawal of Kentucky's 1115(a) community engagement waiver application ends the state's pending effort to impose work or community engagement requirements as a Medicaid eligibility condition, directly affecting Medicaid managed care enrollment projections and eligibility administration for the state. CMS will no longer process or approve that specific application, removing a potential eligibility restriction that could have reduced Medicaid enrollment in Kentucky. Health plans and providers serving Kentucky Medicaid beneficiaries will not face enrollment disruptions tied to community engagement compliance under this application.
