Medicaid; reductions in payments to the states--HCFA. Final rule.
This rule amends the regulations that implemented section 2161 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 (Pub. L. 97-35). Under that provision, reductions in Federal matching payments to the States for Medicaid services were imposed for fiscal years 1982 through 1984. We are amending the regulations as a result of public comments and consultations with various representatives of the States, and to effect changes mandated by the provisions of section 137(b) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-248), which amended section 2161.
