Declaratory Relief Available For NAFI Contractor At Board
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.26.04

(Apr. 22, 2004), the ASBCA held that, while it lacked Contract Disputes Act jurisdiction over the non-appropriated funds contract before it, it had jurisdiction to grant declaratory relief under its Charter if the circumstances warranted. The ASBCA then found that it made sense to exercise its declaratory jurisdiction in this case, because central questions of contract interpretation were involved, the contract had several years of performance remaining, and the Air Force actions might have a significant impact on the viability of the company.

CMS Doubles Down on RADV Audit Changes
On January 27, 2026, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a Health Plan Management System (HPMS) memo that provided a long-awaited update on how the agency plans to approach previously announced Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audits for Payment Years (PY) 2020-2024. The memo is the agency’s most comprehensive statement on the subject since September 25, 2025, when the Northern District of Texas vacated the 2023 RADV Final Rule. The memo makes clear that, while CMS has made certain operational adjustments in response to concerns expressed by Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs), the agency is largely pressing forward with the accelerated audit strategy announced in May 2025.
