Webinar: FMAP and Income Conversion Methodology Study
Publication Year: 2011

In this webinar, experts from CMS, RAND, and SHADAC discuss the Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAP) claiming and Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) income conversion methodologies that states will need to implement under the Affordable Care Act.  These methodologies will be needed to determine who is newly eligible for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act and who would have been eligible before the Affordable Care Act took effect, had they applied for coverage (i.e., the “previously-eligible”), and to enable states to convert their current financial eligibility standards for Medicaid to the new MAGI-based standards.
