	The Department of Health and Human Services will require General Fund appropriations of $21,592 in fiscal year 2021-22 and $24,185 in fiscal year 2022-23 for the Department of Health and Human Services to amend its rules governing supplemental payments to nursing facilities where the number of MaineCare residents constitutes more than 80% of the total number of residents to remove the requirement that such nursing facilities have base year direct and routine aggregate costs per day that are less than the median aggregate direct and routine allowable costs for the facility's peer group. Federal Expenditures Fund allocations will also be required for the FMAP match and Other Special Revenue Funds allocations for the Nursing Facilities Tax.
