Unwinding Eligibility and Enrollment Data Reporting Template
Blank row
The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and implementation of federal policies to address the public health emergency (PHE) have disrupted routine
Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Basic Health Program (BHP) eligibility and enrollment operations. Medicaid and
CHIP enrollment has grown to historic levels due in large part to the continuous enrollment requirement that states implemented as a
condition of receiving a temporary 6.2 percentage point federal medical assistance percentage increase under section 6008 of the Families
First Coronavirus Response Act (P.L. 116-127) ("continuous enrollment condition"). States will have a large volume of eligibility and
enrollment actions to complete when the PHE ends, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released State Health Official
letter #22-001, "Promoting Continuity of Coverage and Distributing Eligibility and Enrollment Workload in Medicaid, the Children's Health
Insurance Program (CHIP), and Basic Health Program (BHP) Upon Conclusion of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency," which outlines
timelines and guidance for states to restore routine operations in a manner that promotes continuity of coverage for eligible individuals and
facilitates seamless coverage transitions for those who become eligible for other insurance affordability programs (e.g., Marketplace).

CMS will require states to report on specific metrics described in this "Unwinding Eligibility and Enrollment Data Reporting Template"
(Unwinding Data Report). These metrics are designed to demonstrate states' progress towards restoring timely application processing and
initiating and completing renewals of eligibility for all Medicaid and CHIP enrollees consistent with the guidance outlined in SHO #22-001.
States will complete a baseline and subsequent monthly Unwinding Data Report and submit these reports to CMS using the same portal in
1
which states enter their Performance Indicator (PI) data and which is set up to accept submissions from those with PI submission credentials.
States may use the Unwinding Data Report excel workbook as a planning tool to review the metrics before submitting their baseline and
monthly reports through the PI portal.
blank row
We realize that states may have questions or need help as they review the metrics in the report and reporting specifications2. States can
access help anytime by emailing [email protected]. CMS will also be hosting an all-state webinar in which they
will review the metrics and how to submit their Unwinding Data Report; the webinar will be recorded and posted on Medicaid.gov so that
states can access it at any time.
