State’s MFP status
CMS has released the list of states that have expressed an interest in
applying for Money Follows the Person. 35 states and the District of
Columbia have shown their intent to apply.
This is NOT a list of states that have applied, they have said they are
intending to apply. Applications are due November 1st. If your state DID
express an interest you still want to make sure they DO apply, and if they
did NOT express an interest there is still time for them to do an actual
application — but they will need prodding RIGHT AWAY.
