CMS released a State Health Official letter outlining guidance to ensure states are well-prepared to initiate eligibility renewals for all individuals enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP within 12 months of the eventual end of the PHE and to complete renewals within 14 months. The new guidance provides reporting tools as well as an eligibility and enrollment tool.
