This legislation establishes new requirements for Members of Congress regarding their enrollment in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). To be eligible for FEHBP, Members must submit monthly certifications demonstrating compliance with specific criteria. Specifically, Members are required to certify that they have met the community engagement standards outlined in Medicaid, as well as the work requirements applicable to beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These certifications ensure that Members adhere to similar accountability standards as those applied to individuals receiving public assistance.
