ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Federal Medical
Assistance Percentages and Enhanced
Federal Medical Assistance Percentages
for Fiscal Year 2008 have been
calculated pursuant to the Social
Security Act (the Act). These
percentages will be effective from
October 1, 2007 through September 30,
2008. This notice announces the
calculated ‘‘Federal Medical Assistance
Percentages’’ and ‘‘Enhanced Federal
Medical Assistance Percentages’’ that
we will use in determining the amount
of Federal matching for State medical
assistance (Medicaid) and State

(SCHIP) expenditures, and Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Contingency Funds, the federal share of
Child Support Enforcement collections,
Child Care Mandatory and Matching
Funds of the Child Care and
Development Fund, Foster Care Title
IV–E Maintenance payments, and
Adoption Assistance payments.
The table gives figures for each of the
50 States, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam,
American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands. Programs under title XIX of the
Act exist in each jurisdiction; programs
under titles I, X, and XIV operate only
in Guam and the Virgin Islands; while
a program under title XVI (Aid to the
Aged, Blind, or Disabled) operates only
in Puerto Rico. Programs under title XXI
began operating in fiscal year 1998. The
percentages in this notice apply to State
expenditures for most medical services
and medical insurance services, and
assistance payments for certain social
services. The statute provides separately
for Federal matching of administrative
costs.
Sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B) of
the Act require the Secretary of Health
and Human Services to publish the
Federal Medical Assistance Percentages
each year. The Secretary is to calculate
the percentages, using formulas in
sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B), from
the Department of Commerce’s statistics
of average income per person in each
State and for the Nation as a whole. The
percentages are within the upper and
lower limits given in section 1905(b) of
the Act. The percentages to be applied
to the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
the Virgin Islands, Guam, American
Samoa, and the Northern Mariana
Islands are specified in statute, and thus
are not based on the statutory formula
that determines the percentages for the
50 states.
The ‘‘Federal Medical Assistance
Percentages’’ are for Medicaid. Section
1905(b) of the Act specifies the formula
for calculating Federal Medical
Assistance Percentages as follows:
‘‘Federal medical assistance percentage’’
for any State shall be 100 per centum less the
State percentage; and the State percentage
shall be that percentage which bears the same
ratio to 45 per centum as the square of the
per capita income of such State bears to the
square of the per capita income of the
continental United States (including Alaska)
and Hawaii; except that (1) the Federal
medical assistance percentage shall in no
case be less than 50 per centum or more than
83 per centum, (2) the Federal medical
assistance percentage for Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana

Islands, and American Samoa shall be 50 per
centum.
Section 4725 of the Balanced Budget
Act of 1997 amended section 1905(b) to
provide that the Federal Medical
Assistance Percentage for the District of
Columbia for purposes of titles XIX and
for the purpose of calculating the
enhanced FMAP under title XXI shall be
70 percent. For the District of Columbia,
we note under the table of Federal
Medical Assistance Percentages the rate
that applies in certain other programs
calculated using the formula otherwise
applicable, and the rate that applies in
certain other programs pursuant to
section 1118 of the Social Security Act.
Section 2105(b) of the Act specifies
the formula for calculating the
Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance
Percentages as follows:
The ‘‘enhanced FMAP’’, for a State for a
fiscal year, is equal to the Federal medical
assistance percentage (as defined in the first
sentence of section 1905(b)) for the State
increased by a number of percentage points
equal to 30 percent of the number of
percentage points by which (1) such Federal
medical assistance percentage for the State, is
less than (2) 100 percent; but in no case shall
the enhanced FMAP for a State exceed 85
percent.
The ‘‘Enhanced Federal Medical
Assistance Percentages’’ are for use in
the State Children’s Health Insurance
Program under Title XXI, and in the
Medicaid program for certain children
for expenditures for medical assistance
described in sections 1905(u)(2) and
1905(u)(3) of the Act. There is no
specific requirement to publish the
Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance
Percentages. We include them in this
notice for the convenience of the States.
These percentages are being
announced today to provide States with
advance notice of Fiscal Year 2008
changes in their FMAP percentages and
to allow States to make any necessary
preparations. However, these
percentages may change for Titles XIX
and XXI of the Social Security Act,
pending comments received on the
implementation of Section 6053 (b) of
the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of
2005, Public Law 109–171. Section 6053
(b) relates to any state(s) affected by an
influx of a significant number of
evacuees as a result of Hurricane
Katrina as of October 1, 2005. HHS
plans to soon release a notice and seek
comments on proposed adjustments to
the FMAP percentages based on Section
6053 (b). The final percentages may
change from those in this notice for
affected states pending receipt and
review of those comments.
EFFECTIVE DATES: The percentages listed
will be effective for each of the four (4)
