Resolution #3-2007
Loss of Federal Entitlement Benefits
WHEREAS, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 42, Part 435.1009 states that federal financial participation (FFP) is not available in expenditure for services provided to individuals who are inmates of public institutions, and
WHEREAS, States being unable to assume the federal share of providing medical services to FFP eligible persons being held in county jails and detention facilities, tend to terminate or sometimes suspend eligibility, and
WHEREAS, this immediate cessation of benefits occurs prior to the issuance of formal charges or conviction, and
WHEREAS, counties must provide medical services to all persons incarcerated in local jails and detention facilities, and
WHEREAS, as the result of this regulation to immediately cease FFP for medical benefits, all costs of medical care must be borne solely by counties;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Clayton County of Iowa Board of Supervisors requests and strongly urges Congress to amend necessary federal regulation to allow federal financial participation for medical benefits to incarcerated individuals until convicted and sentenced to secure detention.
