What this bill would do

This bill is called the Medicaid Fraud Fighting and Taxpayer Protection Act. It was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Griffith along with three other members. The legislation aims to amend title XIX of the Social Security Act. Specifically, it focuses on increasing the State share of recovery under laws related to false or fraudulent claims in the Medicaid program. Under Section 2, the bill changes the state share increase from 10 percentage points to 25 percentage points. This new rule applies to amounts recovered under a State action brought on or after the date of enactment.
