As you may know the NYS Association of Counties has been very active pushing the Cuomo Administration for a portion of the enhanced FMAP funds New York has received during the COVID-19 crisis.  

According to a press release from DOH, counties will receive a combined total of $323 million in enhanced Medicaid matching funds.

The press release notes that “the final support for each county will be based on spending level and could be impacted by further changes to federal guidance.”
