HR 6690 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Northern Mariana Islands Medicaid Advancement Act
To amend title XI of the Social Security Act to increase the payment limit under Medicaid for the Northern Mariana Islands.
Summary
The bill amends the Social Security Act to increase the Medicaid payment limit for the Northern Mariana Islands beginning in fiscal year 2026. It modifies Section 1108(g)(2)(D) to allow the Northern Mariana Islands' Medicaid payment limit to be calculated using the same methodology applied to American Samoa for that fiscal year. This change would increase federal Medicaid funding available to the Northern Mariana Islands.
