Extending Medicaid to Young People in Transition from Foster Care
On April 5, 2023, the Children’s Bureau issued Information Memorandum 23-04 on the changes to Medicaid eligibility for youth/young adults age 18 and older who transition out of foster care and move to a new state. On the webinar, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will provide an overview to the changes made by the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act and the State Health Official Letter issued by CMS. Following the CMS overview, the Children’s Bureau will provide information on the action steps states can take to collaborate on the implementation.
A critical component of the webinar is to provide information on how the implementation of the SUPPORT Act can be used to address the inequities and health disparities experienced by young people as they transition out of foster care.
Leaders from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Administration on Children, Youth, and Families (ACYF) presented during the webinar. The webinar was originally recorded on May 11, 2023.
