Far from perfect, but I'm so glad.
Thanks to your hard work, on January 25, 2019, the Medicaid Extenders Act of 2019, a bill that includes short-term funding for the Money Follows the Person program, became law. The bill includes three months of funding for MFP that states have until September 31, 2019 to spend. The bill also included an extension of the spousal impoverishment protections for people receiving home and community based services to March 31, 2019. While this is only a short-term extension, it will give us momentum as we work with members of Congress for a longer extension of these critical programs.
Far from perfect, but I'm so glad.
