DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Implementation of Section 5001 of the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5) for 

Adjustments to the Fourth Quarter of 

Fiscal Year 2010 Federal Medical 

Assistance Percentage Rates for 

Federal Matching Shares for Medicaid 

and Title IV–E Foster Care, Adoption 

Assistance and Guardianship 

Assistance Programs 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides the 

adjusted Federal Medical Assistance 

Percentage (FMAP) rate for the fourth 

quarter of Fiscal Year 2010 (FY10) as 

required under Section 5001 of the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (ARRA). Section 5001 of the 

ARRA provides for temporary increases 

in the FMAP rates to provide fiscal 

relief to States and to protect and 

maintain State Medicaid and certain 

other assistance programs in a period of 

economic downturn. The increased 

FMAP rates apply during a recession 

adjustment period that was originally 

defined in ARRA as the period 

beginning October 1, 2008 and ending 

December 31, 2010. Public Law 111–226 

amended ARRA to extend the recession 

adjustment period to June 30, 2011 and 

to extend the hold harmless provision 

that prevents a State’s FMAP rate from 

decreasing due to a lower 

unemployment rate from the calendar 

quarter ending before July 1, 2010 to the 

calendar quarter ending before January 

1, 2011. Public Law 111–226 also 

provided for a phase-down of the 

general FMAP increase in the last two 

quarters of the extended recession 

adjustment period, and changed the 

methodology for calculating the 

unemployment adjustment for those 

quarters. 

DATES: Effective Date: The percentages 

listed are for the fourth quarter of FY10 

beginning July 1, 2010 through 

September 30, 2010. 

A. Background 

The FMAP is used to determine the 

amount of Federal matching for 

specified State expenditures for 

assistance payments under programs 

under the Social Security Act (‘‘the 

Act’’). Sections 1905(b) and 

1101(a)(8)(B) of the Act require the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

to publish the FMAP rates each year. 

The Secretary calculates the percentages 

using formulas in sections 1905(b) and 

1101(a)(8)(B), and statistics from the 

Department of Commerce of average 

income per person in each State and for 

the Nation as a whole. The percentages 

must be within the upper and lower 

limits given in section 1905(b) of the 

Act. The percentages to be applied to 

the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, 

the Virgin Islands, Guam, American 

Samoa, and the Northern Mariana 

Islands are specified separately in the 

Act, and thus are not based on the 

statutory formula that determines the 

percentages for the 50 States. 

Section 1905(b) of the Act specifies 

the formula for calculating the FMAP as 

follows: 

The FMAP for any State shall be 100 per 

centum less the State percentage; and the 

State percentage shall be that percentage 

which bears the same ratio to 45 per centum 

as the square of the per capita income of such 

State bears to the square of the per capita 

income of the continental United States 

(including Alaska) and Hawaii; except that 

(1) the FMAP shall in no case be less than
