Bill overview
This resolution expresses Congress’s intention that enhanced federal medical assistance percentage (eFMAP) funds should be directly distributed to counties in states that require local governments to contribute to Medicaid costs. The bill aims to prevent states, like New York, from withholding these funds and using them to cover state budget gaps. It highlights concerns that such actions negatively impact counties’ ability to provide essential Medicaid services to vulnerable populations. Ultimately, the resolution calls for counties to receive the withheld eFMAP funds retroactively.
