Missouri overpayment forgiveness bill hits snag in Senate

Missouri ‘overpayment forgiveness’ bill hits snag in Senate John Haughey, The Center Square contributor © Provided by Washington Examiner Missouri overpaid about 46,000 people more than $150 million in federal and state unemployment benefits in 2020 and the state’s Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR), supported by Gov. Mike Parson, wanted to force recipients to return those excess payments. But lawmakers balked and several “overpayment forgiveness” bills were filed during the 2021 session, including House Bill 1083, sponsored by Rep. John Eggleston, R-Maysville, which would prohibit the DLIR from recovering federal unemployment “benefits that were incorrectly but non-fraudulently distributed to claimants.” Under the measure, those who received overpayments in state unemployment benefits would be required to pay the money back to the state.

Voter-approved Medicaid expansion plan fails in Missouri Senate budget

JEFFERSON CITY Republican lawmakers shot down another plan to fund voter-approved Medicaid expansion late Wednesday, paving the way for a possible court fight in the months to come. The latest result came in the Senate budget committee, where a proposal from Sen. Lincoln Hough, R-Springfield, won support from two other Republicans and all four Democrats but failed on a tie vote. The decision is not final and could technically be superseded when the budget comes before the full Senate, but the losses for the plan are piling up. Back in August, roughly 53 percent of voters said “yes” to a constitutional amendment requiring the state to offer public health insurance to any lawful adult resident earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line around $17,780 a year for individuals and $36,600 for a family of four. Current standards exclude most childless adults and cut most parents off at 21 percent of the poverty line.
