"XXX.  
If there is an extension through June 30, 2011 of increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (P.L. 111-5), the reductions in paragraph WW., HHH., III., JJJ., KKK., LLL. and NNN. shall not become effective.”


Explanation
(The introduced budget included several reductions to Medicaid home- and community-based waiver services including a five percent reduction in provider rates, a reduction of respite care from 720 to 240 hours per year, and a freeze on the reallocation of community-based waiver slots. This amendment restores funding for these Medicaid home- and community-based waiver services if Congress passes a six-month extension of increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) through June 30, 2011.)
