Plain-English summary
Supporting Medicaid in the U.S. Territories Act of 2021
This bill extends, increases, and otherwise modifies Medicaid funding for U.S. territories.

The bill also requires Puerto Rico to implement an asset verification program and to report on its ability to comply with certain reporting requirements, procurement standards, and other Medicaid program integrity measures.
