state agency IT infrastruture, family supports and technology
 

Develop/fix IT infrastructure issues of systems that don’t work well crosses all HHS agencies.  Ensure it permits better, easier data sharing between agencies, in such a way as to inform and impact policy development and planning, and makes the reimbursement process easier and less time-consuming. .  As the funds are non-recurring, this could be is a great use of the money.  Could also be used to support family caregivers who could benefit from additional supports, such as respite and/or paid caregiving roles for family members. Could also use the enhanced FMAP, to provide assistive technology to persons with disabilities for the purpose of mitigating isolation and building social connection and increasing access to information and resources.
