Medicaid Outreach and Assistance for Communities Act of 2026

This bill would change federal Medicaid law so the federal government pays states 100 percent of what they spend each quarter on outreach and enrollment for people eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This includes people covered by the expansion of Medicaid to certain adults. The change would apply to calendar quarters starting on or after the day the bill becomes law. The bill also lists findings about health coverage, recent changes to Medicaid rules such as work reporting requirements and more frequent eligibility checks, and the role of navigators who help people enroll.
