Opportunity Summary:
The Medicaid Infrastructure Grants (MIG) opportunity is a continuation grant notice from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for states that are already receiving MIG funding under the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act (Public Law 106-170). CMS is inviting current MIG grantees to apply for continued funding for the 2009 budget period, specifically targeting states that are still within their approved project period and have not yet exhausted it. This is not a new competitive grant cycle; it is designed to keep existing, previously approved MIG projects moving forward under the same basic rules and expectations that applied when the grants were originally awarded.
The program itself was created under Section 203 of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999, which directed the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish the Medicaid Infrastructure Grant program, with CMS serving as the HHS agency responsible for administering it. The purpose of MIG funding is to strengthen state Medicaid systems in ways that make it easier for people with disabilities to work without losing critical health coverage and supports. In practical terms, MIG funds are intended to help states improve Medicaid programs and services, build stronger linkages between Medicaid and other employment-related agencies and systems, and develop a more coordinated, comprehensive set of employment supports for people with disabilities. The underlying policy goal is to reduce barriers to employment by aligning health coverage, long-term services and supports, and work incentives so that employment becomes a realistic and sustainable option.
This specific posting is identified as a continuation funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS-2009-CMS-CONT-MIG) and uses a grant funding instrument within the health activity category. The award amount is listed with both a floor and a ceiling of $500,000, meaning the expected continuation award amount is $500,000 per award under this notice. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants are not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving these continuation funds.
Eligibility is narrowly restricted. Only states that meet the MIG criteria set out in Section 203 of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act and that are already designated by CMS as current MIG grantees are eligible to submit an application. The notice emphasizes that this is a non-competitive, restricted applicant opportunity and that organizations or entities that have not received an individual notification from CMS are not eligible and should not apply. In other words, this is essentially an invitation to renew or continue funding for an existing cohort of state grantees rather than a general public solicitation.
Key dates in the announcement include a posted date of May 22, 2008, and an application closing date of August 25, 2008, with the opportunity archived on October 30, 2008. Applicants are also told that continuation awards follow the stipulations of the original solicitations under which each grant was first approved, meaning states should rely on their original grant terms, scope, and conditions when preparing the continuation submission.
For access to the full announcement materials, the notice references an additional information link labeled "MIG 2009 Continuation Solicitation." For assistance, the listed point of contact is Nicole Nicholson, Grants Management Specialist, at CMS, particularly for applicants who have difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
