What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Northern Mariana Islands Medicaid Advancement Act'', seeks to amend title XI of the Social Security Act. The primary goal is to increase the payment limit under Medicaid for the Northern Mariana Islands. It achieves this by modifying section 1108(g)(2)(D) of the Social Security Act. Specifically, the amendment adjusts how the payment limit is determined by incorporating the amount determined for American Samoa for fiscal year 2026.
