This law limits state grants for home care services to 3 years and requires yearly evaluation. Each year, the federal share drops and the state's matching share rises. States can meet their match with cash or fairly valued in-kind contributions, but not with other federal money.
(a) A State* can receive payments from a grant under section 280c(a) for no more than 3 years. The Secretary* must evaluate these payments every year.
(b) The State must also match part of the federal money.
(1) The federal share of the cost of the services drops each year: (A) In the first year, the Secretary cannot pay more than 75 percent of the cost of the State's services. (B) In the second year, the Secretary cannot pay more than 65 percent. (C) In the third year, the Secretary cannot pay more than 55 percent.
(2) The Secretary cannot give a State a grant under section 280c(a) unless the State agrees to contribute non-federal money toward the cost, directly or through donations. The required match also changes each year: (A) In the first year, the State must contribute at least $25 (in cash or in kind, as described in subsection (c)) for every $75 of federal money. (B) In the second year, the State must contribute at least $35 for every $65 of federal money. (C) In the third year, the State must contribute at least $45 for every $55 of federal money.
(c) The State's non-federal contribution can be cash or in-kind goods and services — like equipment or plant — as long as they are fairly valued. But the State cannot count money that came from the federal government, or services that the federal government paid for or subsidized to a significant extent, toward this required contribution.
The period during which payments are made to a State* from a grant under section 280c(a) of this title may not exceed 3 years. Such payments shall be subject to annual evaluation by the Secretary*.
For the first year of payments to a State from a grant under section 280c(a) of this title, the Secretary may not make such payments in an amount exceeding 75 percent of the costs of services to be provided by the State pursuant to such section.
For the second year of such payments to a State, the Secretary may not make such payments in an amount exceeding 65 percent of the costs of such services.
For the third year of such payments to a State, the Secretary may not make such payments in an amount exceeding 55 percent of the costs of such services.
The Secretary may not make a grant under section 280c(a) of this title to a State unless the State agrees to make available, directly or through donations from public or private entities, non-Federal contributions toward the costs of services to be provided pursuant to such section in an amount equal to—
for the first year of payments to the State from the grant, not less than $25 (in cash or in kind under subsection (c)) for each $75 of Federal funds provided in the grant;
for the second year of such payments to the State, not less than $35 (in cash or in kind under subsection (c)) for each $65 of such Federal funds; and
for the third year of such payments to the State, not less than $45 (in cash or in kind under subsection (c)) for each $55 of such Federal funds.
Non-Federal contributions required in subsection (b) may be in cash or in kind, fairly evaluated, including plant, equipment, or services. Amounts provided by the Federal Government, or services assisted or subsidized to any significant extent by the Federal Government, may not be included in determining the amount of such non-Federal contributions.
