Disability Community Act of 2023

HR 7267, the Disability Community Act of 2023, increases federal Medicaid funding for states to cover costs related to compliance with specific federal regulations for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The bill raises the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) to 90% for certain Medicaid expenditures in 2024-2026 related to services in intermediate care facilities or home-based programs for this population. It also updates outdated terminology throughout Medicaid law, replacing "mental retardation" with "intellectual or developmental disabilities" in all references. This directly affects state Medicaid programs and their administrators by adjusting funding mechanisms and modernizing statutory language.
