The challenge

States need reliable ways to verify eligibility, lawful enrollment, community engagement, documents, and case status — at the cadence and documentation depth P.L. 119-21 now demands.

The new federal verification floor multiplies the work volume by orders of magnitude. Death Master File pings, NCOA crosswalks, community-engagement evidence collection, and audit-ready documentation can’t be done at the old cadence with the old staffing. Veridian Public is the operations layer that absorbs that delta — without replacing the state systems of record.

Who we help

Four audiences, one operations partner

If you recognize yourself below, our engagement model is built for you.

Tier 1 · Direct

State Medicaid agencies

Medicaid Director, Eligibility Operations Director, Compliance & Audit teams. The buyer-of-record for verification operations and audit-ready documentation.

Tier 2 · Direct or via state

County HHS & eligibility offices

County HHS departments that process eligibility on behalf of the state. Often the actual operational front line for verification cases.

Tier 3 · Sovereign engagement

Tribal Nation processing orgs

Tribal Nations administering Medicaid eligibility within their jurisdiction. Sovereign-respecting engagement with culturally informed beneficiary outreach.

Tier 4 · Subcontract / channel

Primes & system integrators

Public-sector SaaS vendors, eligibility-system primes, and consulting firms holding active state contracts. We subcontract for the verification-operations scope of work.

What we specialize in

Five Verification Operations. One Specialist Partner.

Each pillar maps to a P.L. 119-21 verification activity that state Medicaid agencies, counties, and Tribal Nation organizations must operationalize.

1Community Engagement

Verifying that each enrollee meets the new federal community-engagement requirement — without unnecessary burden on the citizen.

For enrollees in scope of Public Law 119-21 § 71119, the state must verify community engagement at every redetermination. Veridian Public runs the operational layer that does this through ex parte data matching first, falling back to citizen outreach only when needed, and providing a documented 30-day cure period for non-matches.

What we handle

  • Outbound attestation requests on the citizen's preferred channel
  • Payroll & encounter-data matching (ex parte)
  • Statutory exemption screening
  • 30-day cure-period workflow with reminders
  • Document collection & intake assistance
  • Human-assisted resolution for hardship cases
CITIZEN EX PARTE data check VERIFIED If no match: 30-DAY CURE PERIOD 1 2 3 Resolution & audit Full case history captured Active case flow Ex parte data match
2DMF & NCOA

Recurring matching against the Social Security Death Master File and the USPS National Change of Address database — with false-positive protection built in.

P.L. 119-21 §§ 71103–71105 require states to match enrollment records against the SSA Death Master File and NCOA at least monthly and during each redetermination. Veridian Public runs the match cycles, researches every flagged match, and contacts beneficiaries before any coverage action — with retroactive reinstatement for any false positive.

What we handle

  • Monthly SSA Death Master File matching
  • Quarterly NCOA address verification
  • False-positive research with human review
  • Beneficiary outreach before action
  • Retroactive reinstatement workflow
  • Quarterly provider DMF checks (§ 71105)
ENROLLMENT RECORDS MATCH FILTER DMF · NCOA No match Continue Match Research False + Reinstate Every match gets human review before any action affecting coverage.
3Outreach & Response

Multichannel, multilingual, response-aware outreach — documented at every step.

The single biggest determinant of coverage continuity is whether the citizen actually receives, understands, and responds to the notice. Veridian Public orchestrates outreach across mail, SMS, voice, email, secure portal, and community partners — adjusting cadence and channel based on what the citizen actually uses.

What we handle

  • Mail, SMS, voice, email, portal, kiosk outreach
  • Multilingual content (40+ languages)
  • Reminder cadences with response tracking
  • Channel preference learning
  • Cure-period escalation workflow
  • Documented attempts for every case
SMS Email Mail Voice Portal Outreach adapts to the channel each citizen actually uses.
4Exception Resolution

Human-in-the-loop review for the cases that don't resolve themselves.

Automation handles the clear cases. For complex, disputed, or unresolved verification cases — the ones where a person's coverage actually hangs in the balance — a trained verification specialist reviews, contacts, and resolves. Documented, traceable, never autonomous.

What we handle

  • AI-assisted case triage and prioritization
  • Trained-specialist review for sensitive cases
  • Disputed-match resolution
  • Hardship and good-cause review
  • Appeals coordination
  • Full audit trail per decision
AI-ASSISTED TRIAGE Prioritize · classify · route SPECIALIST REVIEW Trained verification specialist · documented decision RESOLUTION + AUDIT Outcome recorded · case closed · audit-ready
5Audit-Ready Records

The audit trail is the work product — not an afterthought assembled for review.

P.L. 119-21 § 71106 expanded the definition of erroneous payments to include payments where eligibility cannot be confirmed. That makes documentation a financial-exposure issue. Every Veridian Public verification action — outreach, response, decision — is captured with timestamp, channel, content, and outcome.

What we handle

  • Per-case timestamped activity log
  • SLA tracking against statutory deadlines
  • Exportable reports for state and CMS audits
  • Real-time compliance dashboards
  • Outreach-attempt documentation
  • Decision provenance for every case

A New Operations Model

Why States Need a New Verification Operations Model

New federal requirements are increasing workloads for state agencies, counties, and Tribal Nation processing organizations. Existing eligibility teams already manage Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, and other public benefits programs. Veridian Public helps agencies centralize new verification responsibilities while protecting coverage continuity and reducing administrative burden.

  • More complex verification obligations
  • County worker capacity challenges
  • Higher risk of improper terminations
  • Greater demand for beneficiary outreach
  • Need for audit-ready compliance
  • Pressure to maintain coverage continuity

How We Partner

A Clear Path from First Briefing to Audit-Ready Operations

A predictable engagement model designed for the realities of state procurement and operational ramp-up. We start small, prove the model, and scale up alongside your team.

1

Briefing & Scoping

A focused private briefing for your team. We walk through your current verification workload, the P.L. 119-21 provisions most relevant to your program, and where Veridian Public can plug in without disrupting your existing systems.

Outcome: a written scope and engagement plan.
2

Operational Stand-Up

Trained verification specialists, workflow configuration, multilingual outreach, and integration-ready outputs — coordinated with your eligibility system as the system of record. We bring the operational layer; you keep policy control.

Outcome: live operations within an agreed pilot scope.
3

Scale, Report & Audit

Workload expands across provisions and populations as the program matures. Audit-ready records, SLA tracking, and exportable reporting are produced as a side-effect of doing the work — never assembled retroactively for review.

Outcome: steady-state operations with federal audit cycles in mind.

Mandate · Modern Technology · Better Outcomes

Both Sides Win.

Public Law 119-21 doesn't have to mean more burden and worse service. The right operational layer turns the mandate into measurable efficiency for state agencies — and a clearer, faster, more accessible verification experience for the people they serve.
