- Families and beneficiaries: People who apply for or receive Medicaid are now explicitly included in fraud determinations. Applicants and current beneficiaries can face investigation or prosecution under state Medicaid fraud rules.
- State Medicaid Fraud Control Units: State units gain clear authority to investigate and prosecute fraud involving applications for or receipt of benefits, broadening their enforcement role.
- Implementation and funding: The amendments change Sections 1903(q)(3) and 1902(a)(61) of the Social Security Act and take effect 180 days after enactment. The text does not create new funding authorities or program appropriations.
