Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Action Alert: Florida Budget and APD Services for persons with developmental disabilities are at risk of cuts in Florida starting July 1, 2010. To avoid this, Florida legislators needs to recieve the enhanced FMAP from the federal government. The Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAPs) are used to determine the amount of Federal matching funds for State budgets to allow for assistance payments for certain social services, and State medical and medical insurance expenditures. The Social Security Act requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services calculate and publish the FMAPs annually. At the state level, they restored all previous cuts, except they caped Tier One at $120,000. This might impact individuals with disabilities, causing them greater institutionalization. The legislature needs this not to happen. How you can help today: 1. Call the Florida legislative delegation to restore the FMAP 2. Call your legislator, thank them for the restoration in the budget and ask them to restore Tier One caps U. S. Representative D.C. Telephone D.C.
