Texas SB921 prohibits ex parte renewals of Medicaid eligibility unless required by federal law.

Texas SB921 amends the Government Code to prohibit the Health and Human Services Commission or any state agency administering Medicaid from conducting an ex parte renewal of a recipient's Medicaid eligibility. An "ex parte renewal" is defined as a redetermination of eligibility conducted automatically without requiring information from the recipient, using only verifiable electronic data sources or information available to the commission. The prohibition does not apply if federal law expressly requires such a renewal.
