This variable only populated for Medicaid enrollees. If beneficiary is enrolled only in Medicaid, then we populate the variable with T-MSIS DE variable STATE_CD. A beneficiary (or an MSIS_ID) may be enrolled in Medicaid in more than one state within a month, in which case we select the state with the highest total Medicaid spend for the month.
