![]() The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the release of the final rule, Streamlining Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program, and Basic Health Program Application, Eligibility Determination, Enrollment, and Renewal Processes (CMS-2421-F2), making it easier to enroll in and retain Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Basic Health Program (BHP) coverage. This rule is a response to President Biden’s Executive Orders (January 2021 and April 2022) to strengthen Medicaid and access to quality health coverage by simplifying enrollment and ensuring continuity of coverage, particularly for vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities.

Littler's article "Divergent Paths on Regulating Artificial Intelligence" highlighted the United Nations’ approval of a resolution on advancing secure and trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) systems, offering a framework for global deployment and utilization of AI technologies. The European Union's (EU) recent enactment of the Artificial Intelligence Act marks a significant milestone, establishing uniform regulations across its 27 member states to ensure human-centric and trustworthy AI deployment, with compliance obligations placed on AI stakeholders.

![]() A recent article published in HealthAffairs emphasized how the COVID-19 pandemic strained the already fragile direct care workforce, which led to closures of vital home and community-based services (HCBS) providers and placed additional burdens on family caregivers. The federal government deployed short-term funding and flexibility through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to stabilize the workforce, resulting in improved wages and workforce initiatives. However, these gains are now in jeopardy as the enhanced federal funds are depleted. To address this, policymakers must act swiftly to preserve recent progress and enhance workforce stabilization efforts. Insights from interviews and focus groups across states underscore the need for higher wages, improved training and support systems, and meaningful worker engagement in program development. National Home Care Advocacy Day is next week, and plans are being finalized to make each HCAOA member’s visit memorable. Meetings with legislators are scheduled, and plans are set for the Welcome Reception on April 16 at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, HCAOA’s federal lobby firm. On April 17, a Breakfast Brief will be held in the Rayburn House Office Building Room 2325, followed by meetings with your members of Congress.
