Since 2015, Maximus has delivered a wide range of enrollment and eligibility services to West Virginia residents. During that time, the company supported the state's efforts to expand the number of programs and populations the enrollment broker project served including the expansion of Medicaid in 2015, the expansion of CHIP in 2017, and the addition of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits in 2017.
Maximus has partnered with the state to improve the delivery of eligibility and enrollment services for more than 400,000 West Virginia residents. The majority of Medicaid enrollment in West Virginia is handled through the customer contact center operated by Maximus, offering residents the choice to engage by phone, web, online chat, and mail. The company conducts caller surveys to monitor customer experience, earning a 98% average customer satisfaction score in 2024. Maximus also provides in-person outreach and education at local community events.
'We've developed a deep understanding of residents' needs over the last decade and are pleased to continue providing West Virginians a high-quality, person-centered customer experience,' said Robin LaFrance, Executive Managing Director of U.S. Services East, Maximus. 'As the leading provider of Medicaid enrollment broker services to states across the nation, we prioritize delivering accurate program information and streamlined enrollment services, ensuring residents are promptly connected with the right benefits.'
In 2018, Maximus partnered with West Virginia to help implement a successful Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) pilot project across two large counties. The company leveraged its enrollment broker infrastructure, developed a full SDOH survey, and added the survey delivery to the Medicaid enrollment process. The surveys, with completion rates of nearly 70 percent, revealed an average of 2.5 unmet SDOH needs per resident. The pilot project's results will be used by the state to better identify the needs of at-risk people, coordinate services, and ultimately improve health outcomes.

Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: Company to Announce Major Breakthrough of Its Bridge Strategy on August 16 in Pebble Beach
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ('Faraday Future', 'FF' or the 'Company'), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Co-CEO of FF. 'This is our 14th weekly update, and also the third monthly edition. This week, we witnessed a turning point in the global economy. Following the U.S. Congress passing its first federal crypto legislation—the 'Genius Act'—the SEC also launched a major new initiative called Project Crypto. In my opinion, this marks a significant acceleration of blockchain integration into the U.S. financial system. It signals that the U.S. is building the next generation of Web3 infrastructure, driving a full-scale convergence between Web2 and Web3. More importantly, it represents a major shift in the global landscape of technology and finance, and the beginning of the next wave of innovation. Today also marks my 100th day as Co-CEO. Before we get into the results of our '100-Day Renewal,' I'd like to give you a preview of something even more important, a major strategic upgrade: On August 16th, at Pebble Beach, we'll officially unveil and kick off the second chapter of our Bridge Strategy. This will not only be a major milestone in the evolution of our Bridge Strategy — and we expect that it will also open up a new growth curve for FF. In addition, our upcoming Q2 earnings call will mark the first time since listing that we present our five-year performance outlook. This reflects our strong confidence in the future and signals that FF has reached a new stage in both governance and operations. Over the past 100 days, we've rolled out an unprecedented 'Ten-Punch Combo' transformations, delivering a full-scale refreshment from S1 to S7. Both our business fundamentals and capital fundamentals have taken a major leap forward. This lays a solid foundation and confidence for our next round of strategic upgrades. When I took office, I set out three main goals — in business, finance, and capital. By now, most of their milestone KPIs for Q3 have not only been met but exceeded. Key results include: First, we fully reshaped the corporate culture, the iron-willed combat strength has returned. The Lion-Wolf culture and fearless execution is emerging across the company. This spirit was powerfully demonstrated in the June 29th and July 17th product launches. Second, we successfully unveiled the FX Super One against the stunning backdrop of the Los Angeles skyline. As a First-Class EAI-MPV, this revolutionary product once again led transformation and ignited the industry, driving dual accumulation of both user equity and brand equity. With over 10,000 pre-orders received, we've fully explored the viability and competitive edge of the Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales Model — a three-engine approach driven by user acquisition, user co-creation, and user operations. Today, we also launched the global co-creation campaign 'Design Its Face. Define Its Soul,' inviting you to upload your creative designs for the Super EAI F.A.C.E. avatar, and to join us in co-creating both the product and the technology — to build your very own EAI Avatar. We warmly welcome your participation! Third, FX Super One has officially entered the trial production phase at our Hanford, California factory. We're now deep into process planning and validation — defining manufacturing processes and quality standards, while ramping up training for engineers and production teams. Meanwhile, construction at our Ras Al Khaimah facility in the UAE is picking up speed, positioning us to begin regional deliveries in the Middle East by year-end. Fourth, the FF and FX Bridge Strategy, bridging the U.S. and China automotive industries, has advanced from Girder Erection to Bridge Closure. We've received strong support from top-tier Chinese manufacturers and engaged with influential stakeholders within the U.S. government. This includes closed-door meetings with more than a dozen members of Congress as well as a mention by Donald Trump Jr on a Podcast. We believe the policy climate will continue to shift in our favor. Fifth, our cash flow has improved significantly. Core operating expenses have been meaningfully reduced, while our financial processes and system management have seen major upgrades. These advances will be clearly reflected in our upcoming Q2 earnings report. Sixth, our capital fundamentals have undergone a transformational shift, reigniting market confidence. Our market cap has nearly tripled, we've been added to the Russell 3000 Index, and institutional investors — including BlackRock and Vanguard — have increased their positions substantially. Our 'Battle Against Illegal Short Selling' has delivered initial success. This reflects our firm commitment to putting 'Stockholders First.' In parallel, our strategic partnership with HabitTrade marks the first step in building a forward-looking ecosystem that brings together EAI Mobility, Web3, blockchain technology, crypto, and stablecoins. These first 100 days are not the finish line — they're the launchpad. But they've shown us one undeniable truth: with the right direction, unwavering conviction, and all-out execution, we can rebuild trust and redefine value. To every investor, user, supplier, and partner who has backed FF, FX, and myself throughout this comeback — thank you. Your belief has been the light guiding us through the headwinds. And in every 100 days ahead, we'll move faster, deliver with greater substance, and deepen our co-creation — to honor the trust of our users, shareholders, and every fighter in the FF family.'

Dave Ramsey has blunt words on Medicare, Medicaid
As Americans prepare for retirement, they often weigh a variety of financial factors - ranging from Social Security benefits to income sources such as 401(k) plans and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). One crucial area that deserves attention is health care planning. For many, this means navigating the complex systems of Medicare and Medicaid. In an effort to make these topics more approachable, personal finance expert Dave Ramsey offers guidance that breaks down the basics of Medicare and Medicaid, helping individuals build a solid understanding of how these programs work. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Ramsey acknowledges that the details around Medicare and Medicaid are complicated. "Have you seen that meme with the lady's face covered in math equations looking confused?" he asked. "We're willing to bet that might sum up how you feel right now - because that's how pretty much everyone feels after looking into Medicare." "But it's not hopeless," Ramsey added. Related: Dave Ramsey sends strong message to Americans on Medicare Understanding Medicare is essential for anyone approaching retirement, Ramsey emphasizes. Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people 65 and older, or younger individuals with certain disabilities or diseases. It's divided into several parts: Medicare Part A covers hospital Part B covers medical C (Medicare Advantage) combines A, B, and often D through private Part D covers prescription drugs. Parts A and B together form Original Medicare, which offers more flexibility. Many people either choose Original Medicare with Part D and a Medigap policy, or go with a Medicare Advantage Plan, which limits provider networks. Ramsey also stresses the importance of knowing the Medicare enrollment periods. There are five: The Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) begins three months before one's 65th birthday and lasts seven months. One can enroll in Parts A and B, then add Part D or Medicare Special Enrollment Period (SEP) applies if a person had coverage through work, lived abroad, or experienced other qualifying General Enrollment Period (GEP) runs Jan. 1 to March 31. If the IEP or SEP is missed, one can enroll here, but lifetime penalties are to be Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. This is for making changes to existing coverage, not first-time Medigap Open Enrollment Period starts the month one enrolls in Part B and lasts six months. Ramsey advises buying during this window to avoid denial or higher costs due to preexisting conditions. Ramsey advises Americans not to procrastinate and to talk with experts about the best Medicare options depending on a person's individual circumstances.

Unlike Medicare, Medicaid isn't insurance, Ramsey clarified. It's more of a support system that helps cover costs such as nursing home care, personal assistance, and even Medicare premiums for those who qualify. Because states help administer Medicaid, the program varies depending on where one lives. Eligibility requirements differ by state, though they're always based on income. Ramsey notes that while the Affordable Care Act aimed to expand eligibility to anyone earning below 138% of the federal poverty level, states still have the choice to opt in or out of that expansion. To ensure consistency, the federal government mandates a minimum set of benefits that all states must provide. These include hospital services, physician visits, lab work, nursing facility care, and transportation to medical appointments. States can also offer optional benefits such as dental, vision, physical therapy, and hospice care. Ramsey emphasizes that Medicaid typically doesn't require premiums, but some states do impose small copayments for certain services. Eligibility is determined by income and assets, including wages, pensions, Social Security, veterans' benefits, and withdrawals from retirement accounts. Each state sets its own thresholds, so Ramsey emphasizes the fact that it's important to check one's local guidelines.
