What this bill would do

The "Protect Medicaid Act" aims to change the Social Security Act regarding Medicaid funding. It specifically seeks to prohibit the use of Federal Medicaid funds for administrative costs used to provide health benefits to unauthorized immigrants. This includes noncitizens who are not lawfully admitted permanent residents and are ineligible for medical assistance due to immigration status. The bill also requires the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to submit a report to Congress after 180 days. This report will cover how States manage administrative costs and their methods for financing health benefits for these specific noncitizens.
