Registration is open for the 2021 National Conference on Special Needs Planning and Special Needs Trusts, October 13-15, 2021. It will be held at Vinoy Renaissance Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida and virtually online. Always popular, a representative from CMS will join to discuss recent events. This year, Gene Coffey will describe what CMS has done during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) to develop strategies for state Medicaid agencies to address the numerous demands the PHE has imposed on states. As the PHE begins to abate, the questions abound as to how the states will unwind from the emergency maintenance provisions.
Gene Coffey of the Division of Medicaid Eligibility Policy at CMS will provide an overview of what guidance the CMS is giving the states as we return to the “new normal”. Additionally, Mr. Coffey will discuss other guidance CMS will be providing on the use of federal funding to HBCS. Also, Ken Brown, retired Deputy Office Director for the Social Security Administration will review the SSI program and policy changes since 2018.
