Abstract: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded 31 grants to States to participate in the Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration (MFP) from January 1, 2007 through September 30, 2011. This demonstration, created by section 6071 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-171), supports State efforts to "rebalance" their long-term support systems by offering $1.75 billion over 5 years in competitive grants to States. Specifically, the demonstration will support State efforts to: a) Rebalance their long-term support system so that individuals have a choice of where they live and receive services; b) Transition individuals from institutions who want to live in the community; and c) Promote a strategic approach to implement a system that provides person centered, appropriate, needs based, quality of care and quality of life services and a quality management strategy that ensures the provision of, and improvement of such services in both home and community-based settings and institutions. The demonstration provides enhanced federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for 12 months for qualified home and community-based services for each person transitioned from an institution to the community during the demonstration period.

Short Statement: Burden Adjustments Our active burden estimates account for 41 states and the District of Columbia (42 respondents). As of April 2023, 38 states, the District of Columbia and 2 territories are actively participating in the MFP Demonstration (41 respondents). Program Changes This 2024 collection of information request aims to reduce (minus 47 total hours) the reporting burden on states by presenting a substantially revised and shorted version of the MFP Semi-Annual Progress Report. The MFP Semi Annual Progress Report Benchmark Addendum has been removed as it is no longer be needed. States will be able to add measures and track progress in the state specific initiative section of the newly developed Money Follows the Person portal. This will reduce burden of the grantee. It also includes a new Work Plan template (plus 103 total hours), which is required by the CAA, 2021; the Semi-Annual Progress report also includes reporting requirements on the Work Plan as required in the CAA, 2021. This iteration also aims to standardize and improve the consistency of information presented in the Operational Protocol through a new template (plus 2,378 total hours). We are not proposing any changes to the MOE form, the ABCD forms, the 64i forms, and the Budget Workbook.
