Guest guest Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Announcement from the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council For more information, please contact GOVERNOR'S PRESS OFFICE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AUGUST 10, 2010 Statement byGOVERNOR CHARLIE CRISTRegarding Federal Medicaid and Public School Assistance "With the challenges Florida's economy has faced, I am grateful to our federal partners for passing legislation to extend enhanced Medicaid funding for all Floridians. Extending the Federal Medical Assistance Percentages will bring over $700 million to the State of Florida that will help address the needs of many Floridians and prevent drastic reductions in Medicaid benefits. I am also encouraged that Florida will receive more than $500 million for our schools which could employ over 9,100 teachers. ""Today's action by the United States House of Representatives will certainly help us continue caring for vulnerable Floridians in need and make certain our children have the resources they need to remain competitive and successful. I am confident these additional resources will help ensure the health of men, women and children, as well as the vitality of the Sunshine State students." ### Forward email This email was sent to eileenr414@... by vandab@....
