* Key provisions of H.R. 1 and associated federal requirements

* Community engagement expectations for certain Medicaid members and associated timelines

* Additional information on how you can help support clients

This session is intended to share currently available information. Guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is still forthcoming, and program details may be updated as additional federal direction is received.
