The bill amends the Social Welfare Act of 1939 by adding a new section, 106c, which mandates the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to report annually on the medical assistance error rate and improper payment rate. This report is to be made available on the department's website and submitted to the standing committees of the House of Representatives and Senate on oversight, starting from October 1, 2026.

The bill defines "error rate" as the total of payments made for ineligible individuals and families, overpayments due to errors in determining eligibility, and payments for services provided to individuals who are not eligible for medical assistance. Additionally, it clarifies that "improper payment" is defined according to federal law (31 USC 3351). These provisions aim to enhance transparency and accountability in the administration of medical assistance programs in Michigan.
