When should MMIS and /or E&E milestone reviews be conducted?

Alignment with the state's system development life cycle happens during the Project Initiation phase, specifically during Activity 1: Consult with CMS. The state should incorporate CMS milestone reviews into the state's project schedule. The flexibility is in scheduling, not whether milestone reviews are performed. Decisions made between the state and CMS are documented in the Project Partnership Understanding document and can be updated as needed throughout the life cycle.

For E&E and MMIS, how often do the IV&V progress reports have to be submitted to CMS?

At a minimum, quarterly. Depending on the risk of project activity, the state and CMS may agree that more frequent reporting is appropriate. Any frequency greater than quarterly should be captured in the Project Partnership Understanding document.
