*RECENT CMS RELEASES*

In September 2024, CMS released an informational bulletin to provide updated information on the timing and expectations for all states to achieve compliance with all federal renewal requirements, including states that implemented CMS-approved mitigation strategies and those who have since identified areas of non-compliance with renewal requirements. Compliance plans will detail how states will achieve compliance with all applicable requirements no later than December 31, 2026. To accompany the informational bulletin, CMS also released a compliance template, which the state should use to submit the compliance plan and a slide deck to serve as an additional resource on renewal compliance guidance.
