Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006 requires that grantees receiving funds under Parts A, B, and C expend 75% of funding on core medical services, including anitretroviral drugs, for individuals with HIV/AIDS identified and eligible under the legislation. Sections of the Act permit a waiver with respect to the required portion of funding for core medical services. In order to request a waiver, grantees must submit a request and provide supporting information and documentation along with the grant application to ensure compliance with the Act.

Emergency Justfication: On December 19, 2006, the President signed the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006. The predecessor statute was the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act. The 2006 Act requires that grantees receiving funding under Parts A, B, and C expend 75% of funding on core medical services. The Act permits a waiver with respect to the required portion of funding for core medical services, but the waiver request must be submitted with the grant application. The application must be made available on August 1, 2007 in order to allow 60 days for preparation of the application and waiver docuemntation, which is due on October 1, 2007. The Act was made retroactive to the beginnin of the 2006 fiscal year, and for that year grantees made a written request with no documentation. The program has developed the requirements for documentation that the criteria for a waiver have been met, and requests emergency processing to ensure agency compliance with the Act in determining waiver requests.
