Health Insurance 

Program (CHIP) Managed Care, EQR 

Protocols, and Supporting Regulations 

Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is 

defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA 

requires federal agencies to publish a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension or reinstatement of an existing 

collection of information, before 

submitting the collection to OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, CMS is publishing this 

notice.

the state is measuring progress on its 

goals. States use this information to help 

monitor and assess the performance of 

their Medicaid managed care programs. 

This information may assist states in 

comparing the outcomes of quality 

improvement efforts and can assist them 

in identifying future performance 

improvement subjects. CMS uses this

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Administration for Community Living 

Intent To Award a Single-Source 

Supplement for the Expanding the 

National Capacity for Person-Centered, 

Trauma-Informed (PCTI) Care: Services 

and Supports for Holocaust Survivors 

and Other Older Adults With a History 

of Trauma and Their Family Caregivers 

Program 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Community Living (ACL) announces the 

intent to award a single-source 

supplement to the current cooperative 

agreement held by the Jewish 

Federations of North America for the 

project Expanding the National 

Capacity for Person-Centered, TraumaInformed (PCTI) Care: Services and 

Supports for Holocaust Survivors and 

Other Older Adults with a History of 

Trauma and Their Family Caregivers 

program. The purpose of this program is 

to advance the development and 

expansion of PCTI supportive services 

for Holocaust survivors living in the 

U.S. Additionally, the project is 

advancing the capacity of the broader 

aging services network to deliver 

services of this type to any older adult 

with a history of trauma and their 

family caregivers. The overall goals of 

the program are as follows: 

1. Increase the number and type of 

innovations in PCTI care for Holocaust 

survivors, older adults with a history of 

trauma, and their family caregivers, and 

2. Expand the capacity of the Aging 

Network to provide PCTI care to the 

populations it serves. 

The administrative supplement for FY 

2022 will be in the amount of $987,000, 

bringing the total award for FY 2022 to 

$5,922,000. 

The additional funding will not be 

used to begin new projects, but to 

permit JFNA to expand current 

activities. For example, to increase the 

number and diversity of innovations in 

PCTI care, the grantee will expand its 

National Networks Program with a focus 

on addressing social isolation, a leading 

risk factor for poor health among older 

adults that has become even more acute 

because of COVID–19, and on providing 

PCTI care to foreign born older adults 

with histories of trauma. JFNA will also 

promote special topics and innovations 

in PCTI care among subgrantees in the 

Expanded Critical Supports Program, 

including innovations that promote the 

safe and welcoming re-integration of 

Holocaust survivors and other 

traumatized older populations into inperson programs as COVID–19 becomes 

less of a risk factor and that promote 

resilience in older trauma survivors to 

reduce their risk for institutionalization. 

To augment project efforts and build the 

capacity of the Aging Network to 

provide PCTI care, JFNA will work with 

project partners to expand and enhance 

the online PCTI training program 

currently under way in the original ACL 

grant. This training will increase 

system-wide awareness and knowledge 

about PCTI care. Additionally, JFNA 

will recruit a year-long, graduate level 

fellow to enhance its evaluation and 

dissemination promising practices in 

PCTI care and in PCTI program 

evaluation. 

Program Name: Expanding the 

National Capacity for Person-Centered, 

Trauma-Informed (PCTI) Care: Services 

and Supports for Holocaust Survivors 

and Other Older Adults with a History 

of Trauma and Their Family Caregivers. 

Recipient: The Jewish Federations of 

North America. 

Period of Performance: The 

supplement award will be issued for the 

third year of the five-year project period 

of September 1, 2020 through August 

31, 2025. 

Total Award Amount: $5,922,000 in 

FY 2022. 

Award Type: Cooperative Agreement 

Supplement. 

Statutory Authority: The Older 

Americans Act (OAA) of 1965, as 

amended, Public Law 109–365—Title 4, 

Section 411. 

Basis for Award: The Jewish 

Federations of North America (JFNA) is 

currently funded to carry out the 

objectives of the project entitled 

Expanding the National Capacity for 

Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed 

(PCTI) Care: Services and Supports for 

Holocaust Survivors and Other Older 

Adults with a History of Trauma and 

Their Family Caregivers for the period 

of September 1, 2020 through August 

31, 2025. Since project implementation 

began in late 2020, the grantee has 

accomplished a great deal. The 

supplement will enable the grantee to 

carry their work even further, serving 

more Holocaust survivors, other older 

adults with histories of trauma, family 

caregivers and to train more 

professionals in the principles of PCTI. 

The additional funding will not be used 

to begin new projects or activities. 

The JFNA is uniquely positioned to 

complete the work called for under this 

project. JFNA’s partners on this project 

include the National Indian Council on 

Aging, the Japanese American Service 

Committee, the National Caucus and 

Center on Black Aging, Inc., the New 

Jersey Office for Refugees International 

Rescue Committee, the Asociacion 

Nacional Pro Personas Mayores (a 

pioneering organization in the field of 

Hispanic/minority aging); SAGE (the 

nation’s leading organization devoted to 

aging in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and 

transgender community); and HIAS 

(which works around the world to 

protect refugees). Additional project 

partners include, the Caregiver Center at 

the Veterans Affairs Medical Center at 

the University of Tennessee; the 

Community Care Corps Program, funded 

by the Administration for Community 

Living and led by the Oasis Institute; the 

Caregiver Action Network, and 

USAging; LeadingAge, an association of 

6,000 not for profit organizations across 

the continuum of aging services; the 

Center for Health Care Strategies, Inc., 

which advances models for organizing 

and financing health care delivery; and 

the Campaign for Trauma-Informed 

Policy and Practice, which promotes the 

building of trauma-informed 

communities; among others. 

Establishing an entirely new grant 

project at this time would be potentially 

disruptive to the current work already 

well under way. More importantly, the 

Holocaust survivors and other older 

adults currently being served by this 

project could be negatively impacted by 

a service disruption, thus posing the 

risk of re-traumatization and further 

negative impacts on health and 

wellbeing. If this supplement is not 

provided, the project would be less able 

to address the significant unmet health 

and social support needs of additional 

Holocaust survivors and other older 

adults with histories of trauma.
