The Federal Medical Assistance
Percentages (FMAP), Enhanced Federal
Medical Assistance Percentages
(eFMAP), and disaster-recovery FMAP
adjustments for Fiscal Year 2024 have
been calculated pursuant to the Social
Security Act (the Act). These
percentages will be effective from
October 1, 2023 through September 30,
2024. This notice announces the
calculated FMAP rates, in accordance
with sections 1101(a)(8) and 1905(b) of
the Act, that the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) will
use in determining the amount of
Federal matching for State medical

Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the

Northern Mariana Islands. This notice
reminds States of adjustments available
for States meeting requirements for
disproportionate employer pension or
insurance fund contributions and
adjustments for disaster recovery. At
this time, no State qualifies for such
adjustments, and territories are not
eligible.
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. 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), and calculations by the
Department of Commerce of average
income per person in each State and for
the United States (meaning, for this
purpose, the fifty States and the District
of Columbia). The percentages must fall
within the upper and lower limits
specified 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.
Federal Medical Assistance Percentage
(FMAP)
Section 1905(b) of the Act specifies
the formula for calculating FMAPs as
‘‘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
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 the
Federal medical assistance percentage
shall in no case be less than 50 per
centum or more than 83 per centum.
Section 1905(b) of the Act further
specifies that the FMAPs for Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the
Northern Mariana Islands, and
American Samoa shall be 55 percent.
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
Table 1 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 the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands in certain other programs
pursuant to section 1118 of the Act. Per
section 1905(ff) of the Act, as amended
by the Continuing Appropriations and
Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations
Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117–180), the
territories’ FMAP is a higher rate
through December 16, 2022. For Puerto
Rico, the FMAP is 76 percent and, for
the other territories, it is 83 percent. The
FMAP for all territories reverts back to
55 percent beginning December 17,
2022, absent Congressional action. The
rates for the States, District of Columbia
and the territories are displayed in
Table 1, Column 1.
Section 1905(y) of the Act, as added
by section 2001 of the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act of 2010
(Affordable Care Act) (Pub. L. 111–148),
provides for a significant increase in the
FMAP for medical assistance
expenditures for newly eligible
individuals described in section
1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII) of the Act, as
added by the Affordable Care Act (the
