The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) has announced the release of its HR 1 Toolkit Phase One alongside a new stakeholder webinar series aimed at preparing partners for upcoming federal changes to Medicaid under HR 1.

As federal policy evolves, HFS is taking proactive steps to ensure that providers, community organizations, advocates, and other stakeholders are equipped with the information and resources needed to navigate these changes effectively. The HR 1 Toolkit serves as an initial guidance resource, offering key insights into anticipated policy shifts and their potential impact on Medicaid programs and beneficiaries.

To further support stakeholder engagement and understanding, HFS is hosting a comprehensive webinar series. These sessions are designed to break down complex policy updates, provide implementation guidance, and create opportunities for participants to ask questions and receive clarification directly from subject matter experts.

The webinar series will cover a range of topics related to HR 1 and Medicaid, with sessions tailored to address the needs of diverse stakeholder groups. Participants are encouraged to attend multiple sessions to gain a well-rounded understanding of the changes ahead.
