State Allocations

Section 1011of the MMA provided $250 million per year for fiscal years (FY) 2005-2008 for payments to eligible providers for emergency health services provided to undocumented aliens and other specified aliens. Two-thirds of the funds was divided among all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on their relative percentages of undocumented aliens. One-third was divided among the six states with the largest number of undocumented alien apprehensions. Section 1011 of the MMA requires that the program continue until all funds are expended. There is no new allocation of funds after FY 2008, but the program continues because there remains money from the original $1 billion appropriated. If a State has not used its full allocation then it remains with that State until it runs out. See the contractor web sites for remaining balances.

FY2008, FY 2007, FY 2006 and FY 2005 State Allocations for Section 1011 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (Federal Reimbursement of Emergency Health Services Furnished to Undocumented Aliens).
