Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 to make perma- nent the Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Dem- onstration.

AI Summary

This bill aims to make the Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration, a program that helps Medicaid beneficiaries transition from institutional care to community-based settings, permanent. It amends the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 to provide $450 million in funding for the program each fiscal year after 2021, and it also requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to redistribute any unexpended grant funds to the next fiscal year's appropriation. The bill seeks to ensure the ongoing availability of this program, which has helped many Medicaid recipients receive care in their communities rather than in institutional settings.
