DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
Notice of Availability of Federal
Matching Shares for Medicaid and
Foster Care and Adoption Assistance
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary,
Department of Heath and Human
Services.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Federal Medical
Assistance Percentages (FMAPs) for the
first two quarters of Fiscal Year 2009
have been recalculated pursuant to the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA). These percentages will be
effective from October 1, 2008 through
March 31, 2009. This notice announces
the calculated FMAPs that the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) will use in determining
the amount of Federal matching for
State medical assistance under Title XIX
and Title IV–E. The table gives figures
for each of the 50 States and the District
of Columbia. Adjusted figures are not
shown for Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands since territories have a
choice between two methodologies to
determine their recalculated figures.
Programs under title XIX of the Act exist
in each jurisdiction. The percentages in
this notice only apply to State
expenditures for most medical services
E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM
21APN1
18236
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 75 / Tuesday, April 21, 2009 / Notices
and medical insurance services. The
statute provides separately for Federal
matching of administrative costs.
Title V of the ARRA provides for
temporary increases in the FMAPs for
fiscal relief to States and to protect and
maintain State Medicaid programs in a
period of economic downturn. The
recession adjustment period is defined
as the period beginning on October 1,
2008 and ending on December 31, 2010.
Section 5001 of the ARRA specifies
that the FMAP shall be temporarily
increased for the following: (1) A
maintenance of FMAP for fiscal year
2009, fiscal year 2010, and first quarter
of fiscal year 2011, determined by
substituting the greater of such
percentage for the State compared to the
FMAP calculated for the prior fiscal
year; (2) the application of an increase
in each state’s FMAP of 6.2 percentage
points; and (3) an additional percent
increase based on the state’s increase in
unemployment. Each state’s FMAP will
be recalculated each fiscal quarter
beginning October 2008.
Payments eligible for FMAP under
title XIX, except disproportionate share
hospital and enhanced FMAP payments,
shall receive the 6.2 percentage point
increase and any unemployment
adjustment. Payments under part E of
title IV shall only receive the 6.2
percentage point increase.
The unemployment increase
percentage for a calendar quarter is
equal to the number of percentage
points (if any) by which the average
monthly unemployment rate for the
State in the most recent previous 3consecutive-month period for which
data are available exceeds the lowest
average monthly unemployment rate for
the State for any 3-consecutive-month
period beginning on or after January 1,
2006. A State qualifies for additional
relief based on an increase in
unemployment if that State’s
unemployment increase percentage is at
least 1.5 percentage points.
In addition to the general 6.2
percentage point increase in FMAP, the
FMAP for each qualifying State is
increased by the number of percentage
points equal to the product of the State
percentage calculated from half the 6.2
percentage point increase in FMAP and
the applicable percent determined from
the State unemployment increase
percentage for the quarter. The
applicable percent is (1) 5.5 percent if
the State unemployment increase
percentage is at least 1.5 percentage
points but less than 2.5 percentage
points, (2) 8.5 percent if the State
unemployment increase percentage is at
least 2.5 percentage points but less than
3.5 percentage points, and (3) 11.5
percent if the State unemployment
increase percentage is at least 3.5
percentage points.
If the applicable percent applied to a
State is less than the applicable percent
applied for the preceding quarter, then
the higher applicable percent shall
continue in effect for any calendar
quarter beginning on January 1, 2009
and ending before July 1, 2010.
Territories (Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana
Islands, and America Samoa) can make
a one-time election between (1) a 30
percent increase in their cap on
Medicaid payments (as determined
under subsections (f) and (g) of section
1108 of the Social Security Act), or (2)
apply the increase of 6.2 percentage
points in the FMAP plus a 15 percent
increase in cap on Medicaid payments.
In no case shall an increase in FMAP
under this section result in an FMAP
that exceeds 100 percent.
DATES: Effective Dates: The percentages
listed will be effective for each of the 2
quarter-year periods in the period
beginning October 1, 2008 and ending
March 15, 2009.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Notice of Availability of Federal Matching Shares for Medicaid
and Foster Care and Adoption Assistance
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Heath and Human
Services.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAPs) for the
first two quarters of Fiscal Year 2009 have been recalculated pursuant
to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). These percentages
will be effective from October 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. This
notice announces the calculated FMAPs that the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) will use in determining the amount of
Federal matching for State medical assistance under Title XIX and Title
IV-E. The table gives figures for each of the 50 States and the
District of Columbia. Adjusted figures are not shown for Puerto Rico,
the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands since territories have a choice between two
methodologies to determine their recalculated figures. Programs under
title XIX of the Act exist in each jurisdiction. The percentages in
this notice only apply to State expenditures for most medical services
[[Page 18236]]
and medical insurance services. The statute provides separately for
Federal matching of administrative costs.
Title V of the ARRA provides for temporary increases in the FMAPs
for fiscal relief to States and to protect and maintain State Medicaid
programs in a period of economic downturn. The recession adjustment
period is defined as the period beginning on October 1, 2008 and ending
on December 31, 2010.
Section 5001 of the ARRA specifies that the FMAP shall be
temporarily increased for the following: (1) A maintenance of FMAP for
fiscal year 2009, fiscal year 2010, and first quarter of fiscal year
2011, determined by substituting the greater of such percentage for the
State compared to the FMAP calculated for the prior fiscal year; (2)
the application of an increase in each state's FMAP of 6.2 percentage
points; and (3) an additional percent increase based on the state's
increase in unemployment. Each state's FMAP will be recalculated each
fiscal quarter beginning October 2008.
Payments eligible for FMAP under title XIX, except disproportionate
share hospital and enhanced FMAP payments, shall receive the 6.2
percentage point increase and any unemployment adjustment. Payments
under part E of title IV shall only receive the 6.2 percentage point
increase.
The unemployment increase percentage for a calendar quarter is
equal to the number of percentage points (if any) by which the average
monthly unemployment rate for the State in the most recent previous 3-
consecutive-month period for which data are available exceeds the
lowest average monthly unemployment rate for the State for any 3-
consecutive-month period beginning on or after January 1, 2006. A State
qualifies for additional relief based on an increase in unemployment if
that State's unemployment increase percentage is at least 1.5
percentage points.
In addition to the general 6.2 percentage point increase in FMAP,
the FMAP for each qualifying State is increased by the number of
percentage points equal to the product of the State percentage
calculated from half the 6.2 percentage point increase in FMAP and the
applicable percent determined from the State unemployment increase
percentage for the quarter. The applicable percent is (1) 5.5 percent
if the State unemployment increase percentage is at least 1.5
percentage points but less than 2.5 percentage points, (2) 8.5 percent
if the State unemployment increase percentage is at least 2.5
percentage points but less than 3.5 percentage points, and (3) 11.5
percent if the State unemployment increase percentage is at least 3.5
percentage points.
If the applicable percent applied to a State is less than the
applicable percent applied for the preceding quarter, then the higher
applicable percent shall continue in effect for any calendar quarter
beginning on January 1, 2009 and ending before July 1, 2010.
Territories (Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern
Mariana Islands, and America Samoa) can make a one-time election
between (1) a 30 percent increase in their cap on Medicaid payments (as
determined under subsections (f) and (g) of section 1108 of the Social
Security Act), or (2) apply the increase of 6.2 percentage points in
the FMAP plus a 15 percent increase in cap on Medicaid payments.
In no case shall an increase in FMAP under this section result in
an FMAP that exceeds 100 percent.
DATES: Effective Dates: The percentages listed will be effective for
each of the 2 quarter-year periods in the period beginning October 1,
2008 and ending March 15, 2009.

Health Policy, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation, Room 447D--Hubert H. Humphrey Building, 200 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20201, (202) 690-6870.
