Medicaid program; adjustment of federal share for uncashed or cancelled (voided) checks--HCFA. Final rule.
These final regulations require that a State agency refund to the Federal Government the Federal share of Medicaid checks issued by the State or its fiscal agent that remain uncashed 180 days after the date of issuance. In addition, we are requiring that the Federal share of cancelled (voided) Medicaid checks be refunded quarterly since there has been no expenditure by the State. These regulations implement, in part, a 1981 General Accounting Office recommendation that procedures be established for States to credit the Federal Government for the Federal portion of uncashed Medicaid checks issued by the State or its fiscal agent.
