Section 472 - Other computations affecting counties
(a)To compute for each month the amount expended as medical assistance for public nursing home care on behalf of persons at each public medical institution operated by a county, county institution district or municipality and the amount expended in each county for aid to families with dependent children on behalf of children in foster family homes or child-caring institutions, plus the cost of administering such assistance. From such total amount the department shall deduct the amount of Federal funds properly received or to be received by the department on account of such expenditures, and shall certify the remainder increased or decreased, as the case may be, by any amount by which the sum certified for any previous month differed from the amount which should have been certified for such previous month, and by the proportionate share of any refunds of such assistance, to each appropriate county, county institution district or municipality. The amounts so certified shall become obligations of such counties, county institution districts or municipalities to be paid to the department for assistance: Provided, however, That for fiscal year 1979-80 and thereafter, the obligations of the counties shall be the amounts so certified representing aid to dependent children foster care as computed above plus one-tenth of the amount so certified above for public nursing home care: And provided further, That as to public nursing home care, except as provided in subsection (b), for fiscal year 2005-2006 and thereafter, the obligations of the counties shall be the amount so certified above, less nine-tenths of the non-Federal share of payments made by the department during the fiscal year to county homes for public nursing care at rates established in accordance with section 443.1(5) and (7).
(b) A county, county institution district or municipality operating a public medical institution providing public nursing home care shall not be required to meet the obligations under subsection (a) once the approved Federal waivers under section 1915(b) and (c) of the Social Security Act (49 Stat. 620, 42 U.S.C. § 1396n (b) and (c)) to provide managed physical health care and long-term services and supports to individuals who require a nursing home level of care are implemented in the county.
(c)This section shall expire January 1, 2019.
