INITIAL REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY ANALYSIS

The emergency rule is anticipated to have minimal economic impact on small businesses. Even when accounting for the extra costs of suspending certain member eligibility determinations and disenrollments, the benefits of gaining the increased federal funding made available under s. 6008 of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act outweighs the cost of maintaining eligibility for Medicaid members by over $100 million per quarter.
