Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Reopening of

ACTION: Notice; reopening of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is
reopening the comment period for a limited time for a collection of
information notice that published in the Federal Register on April 22,
2026. The notice is entitled ``Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance
Program (CHIP) Generic Information Collection Activities: Proposed
Collection; Comment Request''. CMS is taking this action to address an
inadvertent issue with posting one of the collection's revised
templates (S89--Citizenship and Noncitizen Eligibility) under Medicaid
State Plan Eligibility. While the April 22 notice provided the public
with 14-days to comment, we are reopening the comment period for 12
days--the duration of the inaccurate posting.
DATES: The comment period for the notice that published on April 22,
2026 (91 FR 21505) is reopened. Comments must be received by May 26,
2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 22, 2026 (91 FR 21505), CMS
published a notice in the Federal Register that requested comment from
interested parties on the revision of an active collection of
information that had been approved by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under control number 0938-1188 (CMS-10434 #15) entitled
``Medicaid State Plan Eligibility''. The notice provided a 14-day
comment period, which closed on May 6, 2026.
CMS is reopening the comment period to address an inadvertent issue
with posting one of the collection's revised State Plan templates (RU
S89--Citizenship and Noncitizen Eligibility (version 04_2026)). This
iteration proposes substantive changes to the template that are related
to section 71109 of the Working Families Tax Cut (WFTC) legislation
which limits federal financial participation (FFP) for full Medicaid
coverage, with limited exceptions, to individuals who are U.S. citizens
or nationals or in only three groups of noncitizens, including lawful
permanent residents (LPRs), Cuban/Haitian entrants, or COFA (Compact of
Free Association) migrants, who CMS refers to as ``FFP-eligible
noncitizens.''
While the April 22 notice provided the public with 14-days to
comment, we are reopening the comment period for 12 days--the duration
of the inaccurate posting. This action will allow interested parties
additional time to review all of the collection of information
materials and prepare/submit comments. CMS is reopening the comment
period as indicated in the DATES section of this notice. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact: Abby Kahn at 410-786-
4321.)
