The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is soliciting proposals from states to develop the infrastructure to support competitive employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Section 203 of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 directs the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to establish the Medicaid Infrastructure Grant program. Funding for this program is intended to facilitate enhancements to state Medicaid programs and services, to promote linkages between Medicaid and other employment-related service agencies and to develop a comprehensive system of employment supports for people with disabilities. CMS is the designated DHHS agency with administrative responsibility for this grant program.

Either of the following may apply: (a) the single state Medicaid agency; or (b) any other agency or instrumentality of a state (as determined under state law) in partnership, agreement and active participation with the single state Medicaid agency, the state Legislature, or the Office of the Governor.
