Budget Round Amended Bill
Half Sheet Number 304#2c
Description

This amendment reduces $1.0 million from the general fund and $3.0 million from nongeneral funds in the second year and adds budget language to specify how much funding was added in the introduced budget to modify the Cover Virginia Call Center into a centralized processing unit (CPU) to make final eligibility determinations for Medicaid applications. In addition, a report is required on the workload and costs of the CPU. The CPU was authorized to provide temporary relief related to the increase in Medicaid applications at local departments of social services and a backlog of applications from the Federally Facilitated Marketplace. With the second year of enrollment through the federal exchange wrapping up, it is expected that the volume of cases should begin to even out, requiring less funding to handle the cases expected in fiscal year 2016.
