Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered this discretionary planning grant (Funding Opportunity Number CMS-1LI-11-002) to help states that were not yet participating in the Money Follows the Person (MFP) Rebalancing Demonstration get ready to join the program. The main purpose was to provide targeted, short-term funding so eligible state Medicaid agencies could develop and submit a required Draft Operational Protocol for the larger 2011 MFP Rebalancing Demonstration competition (CMS-1LI-11-001). In practice, this planning grant was meant to cover the upfront work of designing how a state would implement MFP, including the program structure, operational details, and compliance with CMS requirements, so the state could meet the upcoming January 7, 2011 protocol deadline tied to the broader demonstration.
The opportunity was closely tied to the Affordable Care Act extension of the MFP Demonstration. That law extended MFP for an additional five years, through 2016, after it had been set to expire at the end of FY 2011. CMS framed the extension as a chance for states to access significant resources and added flexibility to reduce institutional bias in long-term services and supports, remove barriers to community living, and improve access to community-based supports and more independent living arrangements. This planning grant was essentially a bridge: it recognized that states would need time and staff capacity to do the planning and documentation needed to participate effectively, and it provided funds specifically to support the development of the Operational Protocol according to the MFP solicitation criteria.
Funding was straightforward and fixed. The award floor and award ceiling were both set at $200,000, meaning each funded applicant would receive exactly $200,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category was Health, and the program aligned with CFDA 93.791 (Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration). As a grant instrument, it supported planning and development work rather than direct service delivery.
Eligibility was limited to a single State Medicaid Agency in a state or territory that was not currently participating in the MFP Rebalancing Demonstration. Only one application could be submitted per state. CMS used the definition of "State" from 45 CFR 74.2, which includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories and possessions. CMS specifically noted that for territories, any increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) received under MFP would count toward the territory's overall Medicaid allotment, an important budgeting consideration for territorial Medicaid programs.
Key dates show this was a fast-moving planning opportunity. The funding announcement was posted August 3, 2010 (created September 13, 2010), with an original closing date of September 7, 2010 that was later extended to September 28, 2010. The archive date was October 28, 2010. CMS also pointed applicants to Grants.gov support resources for technical access issues, reflecting that applications were expected to be handled through the federal grant portal.
