Medicaid program: adjustment of federal share for uncashed or cancelled (voided) checks--HCFA. Proposed rule.
These proposed regulations require a State agency to 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 would require that the Federal share of cancelled (voided) Medicaid checks be refunded quarterly since there has been no expenditure by the State. This proposal is intended to implement in part a 1981 General Accounting Office recommendation that procedures be established for States to credit the Federal government for its portion of uncashed Medicaid checks issues by the State or its fiscal agent.
