Virginia’s eligibility level for 1931 parents varies by region, the 41% FPL reflects a weighted average of these three eligibility levels.
DMAS staff analysis using Urban Institute and Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured estimates based on the Census Bureau's March 2011 and 2012 Current Population Survey (CPS: Annual Social and Economic Supplements).
An additional 123,000 Virginians with incomes between 100 and 138%FPL who may currently have Marketplace coverage would also qualify for Medicaid coverage if the state were to expand. These estimates differ slightly from estimates put forward by the state of Virginia for its Marketplace Virginia plan, which estimated up to 400,000 individuals that the state would be able to provide subsidies using federal Medicaid funds to purchase private health insurance. The main difference is that the state estimates include some individuals who are currently covered through other programs, such as pregnant women covered through the state’s CHIP program.

Around this same time, concerns were raised by some that the Governor may attempt to implement the Medicaid expansion without legislative approval. Republican leadership in the House of Delegates released a legal analysis prepared by Paul D. Clement, who represented plaintiffs in the ACA Supreme Court case, NFIB vs. Secretary Sebelius, and others which argued that the Governor did not have the authority to implement the Medicaid expansion without legislative action.

In addition, income eligibility for FAMIS MOMS (coverage for pregnant women through CHIP) was terminated effective January 1, 2014. The state plans to reverse this change, reinstating the program to 200% FPL and is seeking approval from CMS to amend the waiver. This is a CHIP-related change and is therefore not included in this report, which is focused on Medicaid.
