Notice of Opportunity for Hearing on
Compliance of Arkansas State Plan
Provisions Concerning Provision of
Benefits During a Reasonable
Opportunity Period With Titles XI and
XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security
Act
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS.
ACTION: Notice of Opportunity for a
Hearing Compliance of Arkansas
Medicaid State Plan—Provision of
Benefits During a Reasonable
Opportunity Period.
AGENCY:
Requests to participate in
the hearing as a party must be received
by the presiding officer by August 29,
2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Benjamin R. Cohen, Hearing Officer,
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services, 2520 Lord Baltimore Drive,
Suite L, Baltimore, MD 21244.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces the opportunity for an
administrative hearing concerning the
finding of the Administrator of the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) that the State of
Arkansas is not providing Medicaid
benefits during a reasonable opportunity
period.
Section 1902(a)(46) of the Social
Security Act (the Act) requires state
plans for medical assistance to provide
‘‘that information is requested and
exchanged for purposes of income and
eligibility verification in accordance
with a State system which meets the
requirements of section 1137 of this
Act.’’ Section 1137(d) of the Act and
regulations at 42 CFR 435.911(c) require
that the state agency provide a
reasonable opportunity period to
individuals who are determined
otherwise eligible for Medicaid but for
whom the state agency is unable to
promptly verify satisfactory immigration
status. In its approved State Plan
Amendment (SPA) 13–0018, the
Arkansas Department of Human
Services (DHS) provides assurance that
it provides Medicaid to citizens and
nationals of the United States and to
certain non-citizens, including during a
reasonable opportunity period pending
verification of their citizenship, national
status or satisfactory immigration status,
in accordance with the requirements of
sections 1902(a)(46), 1902(ee), 1903(x)
and 1137(d) of the Act. Despite such

assurance in the Medicaid state plan, it
is CMS’ understanding based on
numerous discussions and interactions
with the state that Arkansas is not
providing Medicaid benefits to
individuals who declared under penalty
of perjury that they are in a satisfactory
immigration status, have met all other
eligibility requirements for Medicaid in
the state, and are pending verification of
their immigration status.
With a formal determination by the
CMS Administrator that the Arkansas
DHS has failed to comply substantially
with these requirements, made after a
hearing or absent a hearing request,
CMS will begin this FFP withholding
and it will continue until the Arkansas
DHS comes into compliance with the
requirement to provide Medicaid
benefits during a reasonable opportunity
period for otherwise eligible noncitizens who have declared under
penalty of perjury that they are in a
satisfactory immigration status.
Arkansas submitted state plan
amendment (SPA) Transmittal Number
13–0018 on September 23, 2013, which
described the Arkansas DHS’s policies
and practices related to citizenship and
non-citizen eligibility, including the
assurance that the Arkansas DHS
provides Medicaid benefits during the
reasonable opportunity period to
individuals who have declared under
penalty of perjury that they are in a
satisfactory immigration status pending
verification of such status. During the
review of this SPA, CMS learned that
the Arkansas DHS was not providing
Medicaid benefits during a reasonable
opportunity period to individuals who
have declared under penalty of perjury
that they are in a satisfactory
immigration status and who meet all
other eligibility requirements in the
state, pending verification of such
status. Throughout 2014 and 2015, CMS
and Arkansas engaged in extensive
technical assistance discussions. CMS
sent a letter to the Arkansas DHS on
April 1, 2015, reiterating the
requirement for Arkansas to comply
with the statute and regulations. During
this time, CMS received multiple draft
corrective action plans (CAPs) from
Arkansas that set out schedules to come
into compliance with section 1137(d) of
the Act by July 1, 2014, October 2015,
April 2016, and, most recently, August
2016.
On November 3, 2015, CMS approved
Arkansas’ SPA 13–0018. At the same
time, CMS issued a companion letter
informing Arkansas that, if it did not
demonstrate compliance with these
requirements within 30 days of the date
of the letter, CMS would initiate formal
compliance proceedings. To date, CMS
