In the event of a federal government shutdown, individuals enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid), Public Employees Benefits Board, and School Employees Benefits Board coverage—and those accessing behavioral health services—will not experience a disruption in care. In addition, health care providers will continue to be paid for the services they provide.
If a shutdown occurs, we will share more information at that time.
Foundational Community Supports (FCS) provides supportive housing and supported employment services to our most vulnerable Medicaid beneficiaries. These services are designed to promote self-sufficiency and recovery by helping participants find and maintain stable housing and employment.
Supportive housing services help individuals get and keep community housing. Supported employment services help individuals with barriers to employment get and keep a job.
FCS is a targeted Medicaid benefit designed to meet the needs of individuals with significant barriers to finding stable housing and employment. Participants must be Medicaid-eligible and meet certain age requirements, along with meeting specific medical risk factors including chronic homelessness, complex behavioral health and co-occurring substance use needs among others, as well as a disability or other long-term care needs. FCS does not pay for rent, rental subsidies, wages, or wage enhancements.
