     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Territorial Equity Act of&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;2021&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill alters provisions relating to the treatment of U.S. territories under Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, and other federal assistance programs. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill modifies provisions under several health care programs with respect to U.S. territories. Among other changes, the bill&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;eliminates Medicaid funding limitations for U.S. territories beginning in FY2022, &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;repeals provisions that exclude residents of Puerto Rico from a certain automatic enrollment process for Medicare medical services, &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;establishes minimum criteria for certain elements used in Medicare Advantage payment calculations for areas within U.S. territories, and &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;allows residents of U.S. territories who are unable to obtain health insurance through their employer or a health insurance exchange to instead obtain coverage that is at least as broad as the coverage available to Members of Congress and their staff through the District of Columbia exchange. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also modifies provisions under other federal assistance programs. Among other changes, the bill&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;allows Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the food stamp program);&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;makes residents of Puerto Rico eligible for the federal earned income tax credit; and&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;extends the SSI program to Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;
