What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "STOP FRAUD in Medicaid Act," seeks to amend title XIX of the Social Security Act. It directs State Medicaid fraud control units to investigate and prosecute instances of beneficiary fraud. The legislation expands the scope of these units to include individuals applying for or receiving services. Specific language changes are required in sections 1903(q)(3) and 1902(a)(61) of the Social Security Act. These amendments would take effect 180 days after the Act is enacted.
