Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D. (IA-01) bipartisan Medicaid Program Improvement Act. This vital legislation introduced will improve the accuracy and reliability of address information for Medicaid beneficiaries, ensuring seamless access to healthcare services for millions of Americans.\n\n\u201cHouse passage of the Medicaid Program Improvement Act is a significant victory for individuals who rely on Medicaid for their health care,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller-Meeks. \u201cBy improving the processes for verifying and updating address information, we are safeguarding program integrity and ensuring that beneficiaries receive the uninterrupted care they need. I thank my colleagues for their support in advancing this crucial legislation.\u201d\n\nThe Medicaid Program Improvement Act tackles a crucial issue: outdated or inaccurate address information can cause beneficiaries to be enrolled in multiple state Medicaid programs, disrupting their access to essential healthcare services. This legislation amends Title XIX of the Social Security Act, mandating that state Medicaid programs implement a regular process for verifying and updating beneficiary address information. By doing so, it ensures that individuals maintain their eligibility for services without unnecessary interruptions, providing vital support to those who rely on these programs.\n\nClick here to watch the Congresswoman's remarks on the bill.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://millermeeks.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-miller-meeks-bipartisan-medicaid-program-improvement-act-passes-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.153422985225916, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
