Last week’s newsletter included an article about the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) recent actions on Medicaid “unwinding.” CMS had written state Medicaid directors to address a concern that a number of states are conducting ex parte renewals improperly. Our summary of CMS’ concerns noted that “if a U.S. citizen child’s eligibility can be redetermined ex parte, but their immigrant parent is no longer eligible, they would disenroll the whole household.” We inadvertently omitted a procedural step. The sentence should have read “if a U.S. citizen child’s eligibility can be redetermined ex parte, but their immigrant parent is no longer eligible, the state would send them a renewal packet, and if it is not returned, would disenroll the whole household.” Apologies for this error, and thanks to our friends at CLASP for catching it.
