temporarily extends the applicability of Medicaid eligibility criteria that protect against spousal impoverishment for recipients of home and community-based services;
reduces the federal medical assistance percentage (i.e., federal matching rate) for states that have not implemented asset-verification programs for determining Medicaid eligibility;
reduces funding available to the Medicaid Improvement Fund beginning in FY2021;
reauthorizes through FY2020 several grant programs under TANF, such as family assistance grants; and
revises state reporting requirements under TANF to include specified employment data, such as employment outcomes for former TANF recipients.
