More Medicaid funding for Northern Mariana Islands
If enacted, this bill would change the federal Medicaid payment limit for the Northern Mariana Islands for fiscal year 2026. If you live in the Northern Mariana Islands and get Medicaid, FY2026 federal payments would use American Samoa's amount. This could increase federal Medicaid funding for beneficiaries and providers in FY2026, but the change ends after that year.
