What does MODIFYING CERTAIN STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENSURING DECEASED of HR 1403 do?

This section amends Section 1902 of the Social Security Act to modify state requirements related to ensuring deceased individuals are not enrolled in medical assistance programs. It adds a new paragraph (88) to subsection (a) requiring states to comply with eligibility verification requirements under subsection (uu), but only for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Subsection (uu) establishes eligibility verification requirements, beginning January 1, 2027, including quarterly screening using the Death Master File to identify deceased enrollees. If a state determines an enrollee is deceased based on the Death Master File, it must treat the information as factual, disenroll the individual, and discontinue payments (except for services provided before death). The section also mandates reinstatement of coverage if an individual was erroneously disidentified as deceased and disenrolled. States are permitted to use other electronic data sources to identify potentially deceased beneficiaries, provided they also comply with the requirements of this subsection.
