Office of the Secretary, DHHS.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Federal Medical
Assistance Percentages (FMAP) and
Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance
Percentages (eFMAP) for Fiscal Year
2012 have been calculated pursuant to
the Social Security Act (the Act). These
percentages will be effective from
October 1, 2011 through September 30,
2012. This notice announces the
calculated FMAP and eFMAP rates that
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) will use in
determining the amount of Federal
matching for state medical assistance
(Medicaid) and Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP) expenditures,
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) Contingency Funds,
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. The percentages in this
notice apply to state expenditures for
most medical assistance and child
health assistance, and assistance
payments for certain social services. The
Act provides separately for Federal
matching of administrative costs.
Sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B) of
the Act require the Secretary of HHS to
publish the FMAP rates each year. The
Secretary calculates the percentages,
using formulas in sections 1905(b) and
1101(a)(8)(B), and calculations by the
Department of Commerce of average
income per person in each state and for
the Nation as a whole. The percentages
must fall within the upper and lower
limits given in section 1905(b) of the
Act. The percentages for 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.
Section 1905(b) of the Act specifies
the formula for calculating FMAPs 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(b) of the Balanced
Budget Act of 1997 amended section
1905(b) to provide that the FMAP for
the District of Columbia for purposes of
titles XIX and XXI shall be 70 percent.
For the District of Columbia, we note
under the table of FMAPs that other
rates may apply in certain other
programs. In addition, we note the rate
that applies for Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and
PO 00000
Frm 00037

the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands in certain other
programs pursuant to section 1118 of
the Act.
Section 2105(b) of the Act specifies
the formula for calculating the eFMAP
rates 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 eFMAP rates are used in the
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
eFMAP rates. We include them in this
notice for the convenience of the states.
DATES: Effective Dates: The percentages
listed will be effective for each of the
four quarter-year periods beginning
October 1, 2011 and ending September
30, 2012.
