Protect Medicaid Act prohibits federal funding for administrative costs of Medicaid benefits to unauthorized immigrants.

The Protect Medicaid Act amends the Social Security Act to prohibit federal Medicaid funding for administrative costs related to providing health benefits to individuals who are unauthorized immigrants. It also mandates the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General to report to Congress on states that provide health benefits to noncitizens ineligible for Medicaid due to immigration status.
