​Maryland Medicaid has elected to continue certain waiver authorities active during the Public Health Emergency (PHE)​ and use new waiver authorities during the unwinding period. 

• CMS has enabled states to use extensions of certain Disaster State Plan authorities and strategies authorized under Section 1902(e)(14)(A) of the Social Security Act (“1902(e)(14)(A) strategies”). 
• Maryland has requested various flexibilities during unwinding and has implemented other strategies to ensure eligible individuals stay covered by Medicaid or transition to other appropriate coverage. 
• Maryland continues to actively consider and evaluate other authorities that may be available during the unwinding period.​​
