Medicaid-TANF $500 Million Fund Expenditures as of December 2001Federal "welfare reform" legislation separated Medicaid from cash assistance. Under this legislation, also known as TANF (Temporary Aid to Needy Families) reauthorization, Congress established funds to ensure that people who are eligible for Medicaid are enrolled or remain enrolled Medicaid. A total of $500 million in federal matching funds was made available to states at enhanced rates. Each state was allocated a specific amount to be used for conducting outreach activities, simplifying the application process, updating computer systems, conducting public education campaigns, and training eligibility workers on the revised state regulations. The following table provides the amount of funds allocated for each state. For more information contact Joan Alker, or Rachel Klein, via e-mail or call (202) 628-3030.
