CMS Seeks Comment on Generic Medicaid and CHIP Information Collection Activities
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is requesting public comment on proposed generic information collection activities under control number 0938-1148 (CMS-10398). The generic clearance process covers low-burden, voluntary collections related to Medicaid and CHIP state plan amendments, waivers, demonstrations, and reporting. Comments are due 60 days after publication in the Federal Register on July 16, 2026. The umbrella approval allows CMS to expedite certain data requests without full Paperwork Reduction Act review when collections do not raise substantive policy issues.
Managed care organizations that respond to state or CMS data requests related to SPAs, waivers, or demonstrations need to understand the scope and burden estimates of generic collections to plan for reporting obligations and comment on proposed requirements.
