The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on March 26 approved an additional
10 state Medicaid waiver requests under Section 1135 of the Social Security Act
(Act), bringing the total number of approved Section 1135 waivers for states to
23. The waivers were approved within days of states' submitting them, and offer
states new flexibilities to focus their resources on combatting the outbreak and
providing the best possible care to Medicaid beneficiaries in their states. The
waivers were approved within days of states' submitting them, and offer states
new flexibilities to focus their resources on combatting the outbreak and
providing the best possible care to Medicaid beneficiaries in their states. These
waivers support President Trump's commitment to a COVID?19 response that is
locally executed, state managed and federally supported. In addition, keeping
with its commitment to ensure states have the necessary tools to respond to the
COVID?19 pandemic, CMS also approved one additional Appendix K Amendments
requests to existing Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers under
Section 1915 (c) of the Social Security Act (Act), bringing the total to six
approved waivers to date. Appendix K is a tool states may use to temporarily
modify approved HCBS Waivers during emergency situations.
