Using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Information to Facilitate Medicaid Enrollment and Renewal

Manatt Health

Recently released CMS guidance and newly established State Plan Amendment authority allows states to use Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) data, under certain conditions, to enroll and re-determine Medicaid eligibility.  In order to assist states in the facilitation of Medicaid enrollment and renewal for eligible SNAP participants, a recent webinar presented some of the necessary considerations for leveraging these data for enrollment purposes.  This webinar, which was developed and presented by the team at Manatt Health, provided an overview of the federal requirements, identified implementation considerations, including Medicaid/SNAP income and household composition analysis and notice requirements, and facilitated a discussion on how the authority could be leveraged at application and renewal.
