Expansion and start date

Wyoming has not adopted the adult expansion in the KFF tracker.

42 CFR 435.559 sets the national date at January 1, 2027. A state may start sooner, or ask CMS for a good-faith delay that cannot run past December 31, 2028. We did not verify an early start or a delay for Wyoming. The only early start we verified is Nebraska.

CMS says the rule does not apply in a state that has not adopted the adult group and does not cover adults through a qualifying waiver plan. We did not verify a waiver plan for Wyoming.
