For purposes of paragraph (1), a nonexpansion State satisfies the reporting requirement under this paragraph for a fiscal year, if the nonexpansion State— by not later than January 1 of such year, posts on the public website of the State agency administering the State plan, the information described in paragraph
(3)with respect to such State for the previous year; provides for at least a 30-day period for notice and comment on such information; and by not later than March 1 of such year, submits to the Secretary a complete report including such information, comments submitted pursuant to subparagraph (B), and a response by the State to each such comment. The information described in this paragraph, with respect to a State and year, is the following: The the estimated number of individuals who were uninsured for at least 6 months, shown by age-groups of 0 to 18 years of age and of 19 years of age to 64 years of age, as well as a detailed description of the basis for the estimates. The estimated number of the individuals estimated under subparagraph
(A)in the State who would be eligible for medical assistance under the State plan if the State were to make medical assistance under the State plan available in accordance with section 1902(k)(1) to all individuals described in section 1902(a)(10)(i)(VIII), and a detailed description of the basis for the estimates.

The total amount of hospital uncompensated-care costs and a breakdown of the source of such costs, as well as a breakdown for rural and non-rural hospitals. For purposes of paragraph (1), a calendar quarter described in this paragraph, with respect to a fiscal year, and the percentage points described in this paragraph for such quarter, with respect to a State, are— for the calendar quarter beginning on the April 1 occurring during such fiscal year, 0.5 percentage points; for the calendar quarter beginning on the July 1 occurring during such fiscal year, 1.0 percentage point; and for the calendar quarter beginning on the October 1 occurring during the subsequent fiscal year, 1.5 percentage points. The expenses incurred by a non-expansion State, with respect to any calendar quarter with respect to a fiscal year (beginning with 2021), for carrying out subparagraphs
(A)through
(C)of paragraph

For purposes of this subsection, the term nonexpansion State means, with respect to a fiscal year, a State that as of the first quarter of such fiscal year does not provide under the State plan of such State (or waiver of such plan) for making medical assistance available in accordance with section 1902(k)(1) to all individuals described in section 1902(a)(10)(i)(VIII). .
