However. as we work to find longterm solutions to Compactimpact. I believe that there are important fixes we can make that will provide much needed relief to our local governments without significant costs to taxpayers. The ideas that I incorporate into this bill are based on ways to reduce the burden with the inkind contributions that our local governments have provided to support COFA migrants. This approach is a more budgetfriendly way to address this daunting policy challenge. The bills provisions address four areas where we can reduce the burden. Firstly. my bill would permit the affected jurisdictions to use the cumulative amount that they have spent to provide social services to COFA migrants. towards the nonfederal portion of providing Medicaid to their local residents. The bill proposes a new formula that would increase the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage for each of the affected jurisdictions. This would go a long way towards alleviating the burden on affected jurisdictions by increasing the percentage assistance provided by the federal government for Medicaid.
