Good News - Outreach Project Continues!

December 1999 - In late November, Congress passed legislation lifting the October 1, 2000 sunset on the Medicaid-TANF Delinking Fund. This means that states, including Washington, can continue to access the fund until their share of the money is used up. MAA is extending current Medicaid Outreach contracts to at least December 2000. Outreach Contractors can continue their outreach efforts to enroll eligible families and children in Medicaid.
