Overview: Sec. 12H.17 of S.L. 2016-94 directs the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to report on the timeliness of Medicaid eligibility determinations performed by county departments of social services (DSS) at the end of the next two fiscal years and creates a new part in the statutes governing social services that establish a framework for DHHS to temporarily assume Medicaid eligibility administration when a county DSS is not meeting timely processing standards and corrective action efforts have been unsuccessful.

The statutes created by this section become effective January 1, 2017, and apply to monthly timely processing standards beginning on that date. The remainder of this section became effective July 1, 2016.
