Opportunity Summary:
The Medicaid Infrastructure Grant (MIG) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to help States strengthen their Medicaid systems in ways that support people with disabilities who want to work in competitive, integrated employment. The core purpose is to reduce or eliminate Medicaid-related barriers that can keep people with disabilities from entering the workforce or staying employed, especially barriers tied to health coverage, personal assistance services, and coordination across separate State programs. The program is rooted in Section 203 of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999, which directed the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to create a grant program focused on improving how States serve employed people with disabilities; CMS is the DHHS agency responsible for running the program.
States are expected to use grant funds for infrastructure development rather than short-term or isolated projects. CMS signals that proposals can vary, but they should aim for systemic, sustainable improvements in Medicaid and in how Medicaid connects with other employment-related service systems. In practice, this means building or improving the policies, administrative processes, and cross-agency coordination that make it easier for working people with disabilities to keep reliable health coverage, access needed personal assistance or other supports, and navigate work incentives without losing critical services. The intended end result is straightforward: increase the number of people with disabilities who are able to obtain and maintain competitive employment.
Funding for the broader program was authorized for 11 years, with $150 million appropriated for the first five years. For fiscal years 2006 through 2011, the appropriation for each year increased based on the percentage increase (if any) in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the prior fiscal year. For this specific funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CMS-1QA-11-001), awards range from $500,000 to $750,000 per year, with $500,000 identified as the minimum annual award to an eligible State, assuming the annual appropriation is sufficient to cover all applicants. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed.
Eligibility is limited to State-level applicants. The grant may be administered either by (a) the single State Medicaid agency, or (b) another State agency or instrumentality as defined under State law, as long as that entity applies in partnership with, agreement from, and active participation by the single State Medicaid agency. If a non-Medicaid State agency is the applicant, the application must include a letter of commitment from the single State Medicaid agency. For this program, "State" is defined broadly to include the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
The application process for this posted opportunity was fully electronic through Grants.gov. The posting date was May 25, 2010, and applications were due by July 16, 2010, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The opportunity was archived on August 15, 2010.
