PHOENIX ? Federal approval of an implementation plan Friday clears the way for Arizona to freeze enrollments in part of the state's Medicaid program on July 8.
That's a week later than originally scheduled.
Arizona had authority to reduce eligibility for a non-federally mandated part of its program, but needed federal clearance for the state's implementation plan.
Federal officials say they regret the state's decision.
Arizona had planned to prohibit new signups and re-enrollments starting Friday but received word late Thursday that federal officials weren't ready to act on the latest version of the implementation plan.
The partial enrollment freeze is part of a package of eligibility reductions and other changes being implemented to save a projected $500 million to help balance the state budget for the fiscal year that began Friday.
