Report to Congress on Best Practices in the Money Follows the Person Demonstration Today, CMS released a report describing best practices in implementing the Money Follows the Person (MFP) Demonstration. Since its authorization in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-171), the MFP Demonstration has provided nearly $6 billion to 43 states and the District of Columbia to improve access to home and community-based services (HCBS) for Medicaid-eligible individuals and helped more than 107,128 long-term residents transition from institutions to the community. Developed in collaboration with states, providers, and MFP participants, this report identifies effective state strategies for implementing the key components of the MFP Demonstration and features case studies of distinctive state approaches. This report highlights findings across eight areas of interest, identified in Section 204(e) of Division CC of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.
