Use of Countercyclical Revenue Sharing Funds as Non-Federal Share of Medicaid Matching Payments

A decision was requested on whether federal payments to the State of Alabama under title II of the Public Works Employment Act of 1976 may be used as the state's required nonfederal share under the Medicaid program. Since Congress intended that federal funds distributed under title II be treated in the same no strings manners as general revenue sharing funds, these funds may be used to meet the matching funds requirement of the Medicaid program.
