SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
DMAS; Medicaid application. Directs the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) to verify income, using Virginia Employment Commission data, for Medicaid applicants and recipients who claim no earned or unearned income. The same protocols would be required to be used to verify the income of all applicants and recipients no later than October 1, 2017. The bill also requires DMAS to amend the Virginia Medicaid application, after obtaining approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to require a Medicaid applicant to opt out if such applicant does not want to grant permission to the state to use his federal tax returns for the purposes of renewing eligibility.
