Plain-English Summary

The federal government would temporarily increase its share of funding for states' Medicaid programs to help cover the extra costs of meeting federal rules for care facilities and home services that serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This extra money would help states afford the compliance expenses without having to cut services or raise their own spending. The increased federal funding would be temporary and only apply to these specific disability services.
