Opportunity Summary:
The Medicaid Infrastructure Grant (MIG) is a discretionary grant program run by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that aims to help States build and strengthen the systems needed to support competitive employment for people with disabilities. The opportunity comes from Section 203 of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999, which directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish the MIG Program, with CMS serving as the agency responsible for administering it. In practical terms, the grant is designed to help States improve how their Medicaid programs and related services function when the goal is helping people with disabilities work in regular, competitive jobs while maintaining access to essential health coverage and supports.
The core purpose of the funding is infrastructure development. That includes making enhancements to State Medicaid programs and services that remove barriers to employment, improving coordination and linkages between Medicaid and other employment-related agencies, and creating a more comprehensive, statewide system of employment supports. The emphasis is not only on Medicaid policy and administration, but also on cross-agency collaboration, so that health coverage, long-term services and supports, vocational and workforce services, and other relevant systems can work together in a more aligned way to support employment outcomes for people with disabilities.
This particular funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-CMS-MIG-0001) was posted on May 22, 2008, with an application closing date of June 30, 2008, and an archive date of July 30, 2008. CMS anticipated making about 25 awards under this opportunity. The estimated total funding available was $43,730,000, with individual awards expected to fall between $500,000 (award floor) and $750,000 (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to States and State-related entities, with specific rules about who may administer the grant. Applications could be submitted either by the single State Medicaid agency or by another State agency or instrumentality (as permitted under State law) as long as it applied in partnership with, under agreement with, and with active participation from the single State Medicaid agency. If a non-Medicaid State agency applied, the application had to include a letter of commitment from the single State Medicaid agency. For the purposes of the program, the term "State" was defined broadly to include not only the 50 States and the District of Columbia, but also Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Administratively, CMS was the sponsoring agency, and the opportunity was categorized under the health funding activity area, using the standard grant funding instrument. Additional program information was referenced through CMS's Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act resources (http://www.cms.hhs.gov/TWWIIA/03MIG.asp#TopOfPage).
