Medicaid program; prohibitions on FFP for educational and vocational training for institutionalized individuals--HCFA. Final rule.
This final rule revises and clarifies the meaning of the prohibition against the use of Federal financial participation (FFP) for vocational training and educational activities in intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded (ICFs/MR) and in psychiatric facilities or programs providing psychiatric services to individuals under age 21. It resolves issues that have been raised by the States and courts regarding the method and criteria that have been used by HCFA to determine which services are not eligible for FFP because of the educational and vocational training services exclusion.
