Increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) under the Amrican Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is committed to helping to promote economic recovery through our implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) . The legislation authorizes an estimated $87 billion in additional federal funding for States, in the form of a temporary increase in the funds that the Federal government contributes toward Medicaid and Title IV-E programs. This investment will protect people whose eligibility for Medicaid might otherwise be at risk if State budget shortfalls resulted in Medicaid cutbacks. This investment will also generate considerable state economic activity, jobs and wages.
