What is the FMAP applicable for medical assistance authorized under section 1903(v)(2) of the Social Security Act that may be provided to low-income adults with income up to 133 percent FPL?

Section 1903(v)(2) of the Social Security Act limits the availability of federal Medicaid matching funds for states' expenditures for medical assistance for certain individuals to expenditures for services furnished to treat an emergency medical condition. If such individuals meet the eligibility criteria for the Medicaid new adult group in the state to be considered "newly eligible" under the state's FMAP methodology for the new adult group, state expenditures consistent with section 1903(v) are matched at the newly eligible FMAP described in section 1905(y). This treatment for purposes of federal reimbursement is consistent with current law and regulation.
