\u201cTitle XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) authorizes federal grants to states for a proportion of expenditures for medical assistance under an approved Medicaid state plan, and for expenditures necessary for administration of the state plan\u2026.Under section 1903(a)(7) of the Act, federal payment is available at a rate of 50% for amounts expended by a state \u201cas found necessary by the Secretary for the proper and efficient administration of the state plan,\u201d per 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 433.15(b)(7).\u201d\u00a0Source: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brain injury programs have collaborated with their Medicaid agencies and No Wrong Door (NWD) partners around the opportunity of Medicaid Administrative Claiming (MAC), or on-going funds to support access by people in need of person-centered, long-term services and supports (LTSS). Once flowing, the funds are discretionary and can allow a state to put additional resources towards employment supports or other priorities. States looking to broaden their employment impact might consider using earned MAC discretionary funds to hire an employment resource facilitator to help with vocational rehabilitation connections or post-employment supports, examine options for a youth job preparation initiative, or initiate an employment-specific support group for people with brain injury, as examples.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This e-learning community will break down the components of MAC and shed light on the steps for developing the groundwork necessary for administrative claiming (or expanding existing claiming). Participants will receive guidance on establishing connections and initiating communications for the exploration of MAC funds in this action-oriented series with assigned homework. TBI grantees are encouraged to involve key partners which may include your local community-based organizations providing brain injury services and supports, other ACL grantees that may be collaborators on prospective MAC initiatives, and other state agency staff as applicable. States are encouraged to have established contact with their state partners responsible for MAC and to have received preliminary receptivity to MAC partnership\/exploration.<\/p>\n
