Under the customer experience element, it highlighted completion of assessments by high-impact service providers; a partnership between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services with the United States Digital Service “to help states make their systems more accurate and efficient; and efforts under the “life experiences” program.
Under the managing the business of government element, it highlighted OMB’s revisions of the Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance, commonly known as the “uniform guidance,” which sets the foundational requirements for agencies in making grants and providing other forms of financial assistance.
