The Agency has rescheduled the second public meeting regarding the Low Income Pool (LIP) Program and the potential distribution/financing of LIP funding. During the 2017 Legislative Session, Legislation passed allowing the appropriation of non-recurring funds to the Agency for the purpose of implementing a LIP Program for the 2017-18 fiscal year. Subject to the federal approval of the final terms and conditions of the LIP, the Agency shall submit a budget amendment requesting release of the funds held in reserve pursuant to Chapter 216, Florida Statutes. In addition to the proposed amendment, the Agency must submit: the Reimbursement and Funding Methodology Document, as specified in the terms and conditions, which documents permissible LIP expenditures; a proposed distribution model by entity; and a proposed listing of entities contributing Intergovernmental Transfers to support the state match required. You can access information and details about the LIP public meetings, including schedules for upcoming meetings, and meeting agenda materials and recordings, through our website: http://ahca.myflorida.com/Medicaid/Finance/finance/LIP-DSH/LIP/index.shtml
