FMAP Funds
 

We would like to ask that you consider that the increase in FMAP funding should be used to allow providers to address specific problems related to their operations.  Subsequently, we would request for the limited time that this “one time” funding is available it will bridge the January 2022 increase in the minimum wage, until the rebased rates are available. Additionally, it should be simple to access and also be cognizant of the fact that all providers have a unique needs and that there is not a one-size fits all approach. This would be the best way to allocate the funds to address the immediate needs of providers.
