As states seek to improve supportive services, policymakers need to know whether consumer-directed programs deliver quality care — that which satisfies consumers' preferences and does not harm their health.

In this report, the new MSIS enrollment data are utilized to provide detailed information on Medicaid eligibility patterns and managed care participation in calendar year 1999. A series of 14 tables were constructed for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, and then summarized at the national level.

This report explores one key dimension of access to public benefits  the application and eligibility determination process. Of particular interest is how local-level administrative procedures and operations may generally affect eligible families access to benefits. Special consideration is given to exploring these issues as they relate to immigrants and limited English speakers.
