Summary

Medicaid Extenders Act of 2019 This bill alters several Medicaid programs and funding mechanisms. Specifically, the bill makes appropriations for FY2019 for, and otherwise revises, the Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration Program; temporarily extends the applicability of Medicaid eligibility criteria that protect against spousal impoverishment for recipients of home and community-based services; reduces the federal medical assistance percentage (i.e., federal matching rate) for states that have not implemented asset-verification programs for determining Medicaid eligibility; and reduces funding available to the Medicaid Improvement Fund beginning in FY2021.
