CLASP Supports Massachusetts’s Centennial Care 2.0 Section 1115 Demonstration Application
CLASP submitted comments in support of Massachusetts’s Section 1115 waiver demonstration, Centennial Care 2.0, which would allow it to remove MA’s waiver of retroactive eligibility, provide 12 months continuous eligibility for adults and 24 months continuous eligibility for seniors experiencing homelessness, provide pre-release MassHealth services to individuals in certain carceral facilities, and include short-term post hospitalization housing and temporary housing to pregnant enrollees and families. If approved, the proposals detailed in this amendment demonstration would promote health equity and address the health needs of Massachusetts’ most vulnerable populations. [Massachusetts’s Centennial Care 2.0 waiver demonstration was approved on April 19, 2024].
