On March 31st, CMS published an explanation of the “Potential Impact of House Joint Resolution 7,” to answer questions related to the difference between this resolution to end the National Emergency differs from the upcoming May 11th end of the Public Health Emergency. LeadingAge members have asked whether existing waivers under the PHE will end early, or end May 11th as planned. As the CMS document explains, “Even if the COVID-19 National Emergency were to end, any existing waivers currently in effect and authorized under the 1135 waiver authorization for the pandemic would remain in place until the end of the federal PHE for COVID-19.” Simply put, the waivers will end but the date to end them does not change.
