each grant. Describe milestones and work

products to be accomplished during the grant

period.

For States applying for Conditional

Eligibility. States must clearly indicate the

annual benchmarks for improvements to

personal assistance services (PAS) that must

be achieved before funding beyond the first

year’s will be released. These benchmarks

should represent improvements in PAS that

will move a State closer to meeting the level

of PAS described in Appendix One.

For States applying for Transitional

eligibility, States must provide a letter of

commitment outlining how the requirement

of providing PAS statewide by the end of the

grant year will be achieved.

• Examples of work products include

completed program designs, legislative

campaigns, or proposed educational

campaigns.

• A timetable for accomplishing the major

tasks to be undertaken should include key

dates relevant to the proposed project (e.g.

State budget cycles and legislative sessions).

D. Organization and Staffing

Describe the project organization and

staffing include:

• Proposed management structure and

how key project staff will relate to the

proposed project director, the Medicaid

Agency, and any interagency or community

working groups.

• Brief biographical sketches of the project

director and key project personnel indicating

their qualifications, and prior experience for

the project. Resumes for the key project

personnel should be provided as an

attachment.

E. Endorsements and Support

Provide a set of endorsements of the

support and commitments that have been

pledged for the proposed project (e.g.

cooperation from the disability community,

other state agencies, the executive branch,

the legislative branch, employers, business

groups, etc.). Individual letters of support

should be included as attachments.

6. Budget Narrative/Justification

For the budget recorded on form 424 (see

Appendix Five), provide a breakdown of the

aggregate number detailing their allocation to

each major set of activities. If your State is

applying to create a State-to-State Medicaid

Infrastructure Center, the budget narrative

must separate that activity. The proposed

budget for the program should distinguish

the proportion of grant funding designated

for each grant activity. The budget must

separate out funding that is administered

directly by the lead agency from funding that

will be subcontracted to other partners. If you

have budgeted for Infrastructure Grant money

to use toward the realization of a

Demonstration to Maintain Independence

project, you may submit a separate budget

section reflecting how that money will be

spent if the Demonstration project is not

approved.

If your State has an approved State Plan

amendment under section

1902(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XII) of the Social Security

Act and is applying for funds in excess of

$500,000 per fiscal year, please provide

documentation of State and Federal spending

for this optional categorically needy

eligibility group.

7. Required Appendices

(a) Organizational Charts: Append one or

more charts depicting the organizational

relationship amongst the lead agency for this

grant, the Single State Medicaid Agency (if

different), the agency administering Home

and Community-Based Service waivers (if

different), and the State Vocational

Rehabilitation Agency.

(b) Memoranda of Understanding: Append

any relevant memoranda of understanding

which might illustrate the breadth of the

State’s employment efforts and the extent of

collaboration between relevant agencies.

(c) Key Staff Qualifications: Include a

biographical sketch or resume of key staff

describing their qualifications.
