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: There have not been any program changes. All requirements, forms, instructions, respondent response times and response frequency, etc. are unchanged from the 2008 PRA package. As of March 2011, CMS had awarded 44 MFP grants. In 2012, CMS will award 3 MFP Grants, thus, the burden estimates are for 46 states and the District of Columbia (44 current Grantees and 3 being awarded in 2012 for a total of 47 MFP Demonstration Grantees). This package also adjusts our burden estimates by adding burden associated with the Quality of Life File questionnaire. Although the questionnaire was included in the 2008 PRA package, the burden estimates were inadvertently missing.
