FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES: None AGENCY: 10-144 - Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office for Family Independence (OFI) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 301, Food Supplement Program, FS217P (Increases Pursuant to PL 116-260): Section FS 999-3, Charts; PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2021-P022 BRIEF SUMMARY: This rule change proposes to implement increases to the maximum and minimum allotments from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. As a result, Food Supplement benefits would increase for some households. Furthermore, it proposes to increase eligibility thresholds. As a result, more households would be eligible for Food Supplement benefits. A rule change is necessary to remain in compliance with PL 116-260. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (PL 116-260) requires that Food Supplement Program maximum and minimum allotments be increased by 15 percent for the period of January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) provided the exact figures and guidance in a December 28, 2020 memo. The Department implemented these changes on an emergency basis on February 1, 2021 effective January 1, 2021, in Rulemaking No. FS217E. Because the emergency rule is effective for only 90 days, this rulemaking is necessary to make the changes permanent. Additionally, a rule change is necessary to remain in compliance with Federal regulation 7 CFR §273.9(a)(3), which requires that Food Supplement Program income limits be updated each year, effective October 1. Non-compliance could result in federal penalties or loss of federal funds. Maine exercises an option for Broad Based Categorical Eligibility under 7 CFR §273.2(j)(2) which includes a 185% Federal Poverty Level (FPL) test. Since this figure is not included in the figures updated each federal fiscal year per 7 CFR §273.9(a)(4), it is updated as soon as the the FPLs are published. This year, they were published at https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines on January 13. See also, Annual Update of the HHS Poverty Guidelines, 86 Fed. Reg. 7,732 (February 1, 2021) https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/02/01/2021-01969/annual-update-of-the-hhs-poverty-guidelines. Finally, the rule change proposes to remove end dates from the last set of figures of each chart to alleviate unnecessary future rule making should the figures remain the same. Some charts would, also, be condensed to more clearly show where figures have been retained for an extended period of time. See http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/ofi/rules/index.shtml for rules and related rulemaking documents. PUBLIC HEARING: None scheduled. COMMENT DEADLINE: Monday, March 22, 2021.

AGENCY: 10-144 - Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office for Family Independence (OFI) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 332, MaineCare Eligibility Manual, Parts 9, 18: MaineCare Rule #295, Updates to Parts 9, (Special) Limited Benefit Groups, and 18, Presumptive Eligibility Determined By Hospitals. PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2021-P023 BRIEF SUMMARY: The Department proposes various substantive and technical changes in Part 9, as well as in Part 18 of the MaineCare Eligibility Manual, 10-144 CMR ch. 332, primarily with regard to presumptive eligibility determinations. Additionally, the Department regularly reviews policies to ensure clarity and conformity with state and federal Medicaid requirements. The Department proposes to add clarification to other sections of Parts 9 and 18 of this Manual to clarify eligibility criteria and processes. None of these clarifications make substantive changes to existing eligibility criteria or processes in a way that diminishes beneficiaries' rights. Indeed, it could be that more beneficiaries are determined eligible for MaineCare services as a result of the new presumptive eligibility process for the limited family planning benefit group (Part 9, Sec. 4). Within Part 9, Section 1, the Department proposes the following changes. References to "HIV/AIDS Waiver" would be changed to "Benefit for People living with HIV/AIDS". Language would be added to specify that this benefit is also referred to as the Special Benefit Waiver or SBW. Changes also include specifying which type of coverage was being referenced at each step, specifying that action was being taken on benefits not the individual, and removing unnecessary words. The Department proposes changes in Subsection 1(A) specifying that this requirement only applies to individuals who qualify for SSI-Related MaineCare based on disability (not age). Language would be added to Subsection 1(C) specifying that SSI-Related budgeting procedures (in Part 7) apply. To improve specificity, the due date of premiums would be added to the first paragraph of Subsection 2. Subsection 2(A)(1) would be amended to clarify that multiple month payments should be made in advance of the due date. Subsection 2(A)(2) would be amended to clarify that notice will be sent to the individual, allowing for e-noticing or mail as opposed to handing it to them. The last paragraph of Subsection 2(A)(3) would be amended to clarify that the date in question is the last day of the grace period. Subsection 2(B)(2)(b) would be amended to allow for a person other than a relative to be responsible for an individual's premium payments. Subsection 3(A) would be amended to clarify that continuous coverage will only be granted pending a hearing decision if the request for hearing is received during the Adverse Action Notice Period. In Part 9, Section 2, the Department proposes the following change to clarify that there are, in fact, two distinct Breast and Cervical Cancer programs. A sentence would be added to the end of the first paragraph referencing the program available under 10-144 CMR ch. 708. In Part 9, Section 4, the Department proposes to add language to 10-144 CMR ch. 332, the MaineCare Eligibility Manual, to comply with 22 MRS §3173-G. Specifically, the rule sets forth the conditions for a provider to make a presumptive eligibility determination for the limited family planning coverage group, the process for making such a determination, the duration of the presumptive decision, and the process for securing ongoing eligibility. These changes shall be effective retroactive to October 1, 2020. Other proposed changes are part of a standardization of practice across all OFI rules. References to MaineCare coverage that does not limit its coverage to a specific system or condition would be consistently changed to "full MaineCare". Furthermore, this rulemaking proposes to make changes in Part 18 of the Manual regarding requirements for hospitals to utilize Hospital Presumptive Eligibility, per Maine's SPA that was approved by CMS on October 28, 2020. The proposed changes clarify the Hospital Presumptive Eligibility process and impose an 80% performance standard and a process for enforcing same. The primary substantive changes are proposed regarding the presumptive eligibility determination process. The rule implements the legislature's requirement that presumptive eligibility determinations be permitted for the limited family planning benefit group. It also reduces the penalties associated with performance standards and clarifies requirements for hospital presumptive eligibility determinations.
