CMS Reopens Comment Period for Medicaid CHIP Generic Information Collection Activities

CMS is reopening the comment period for 12 days on its Medicaid and CHIP Generic Information Collection Activities notice, originally published April 22, 2026. The reopening addresses an inadvertent issue with posting the revised S89 template for Citizenship and Noncitizen Eligibility under Medicaid State Plan Eligibility. The original notice provided a 14-day comment period, and CMS is adding 12 days to account for the period when the template was incorrectly posted. This affects states and managed care organizations that rely on standardized eligibility templates for enrollment and compliance documentation.
