0970-AC64 201410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0970 Administration for Children and Families ACF 0900 Department of Health and Human Services HHS Refugee Medical Assistance

The Office of Refugee Resettlement proposes to update the refugee medical assistance (RMA) regulations to conform to changes to Medicaid resulting from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This update will harmonize RMA and Medicaid income methodologies and reduce the burden on States by eliminating the current need for a separate income determination process for Medicaid and RMA. Aligning RMA with Medicaid will increase refugee access to health care and provide parity between RMA and Medicaid.
