Money Follows the Person (MFP) is a proven Medicaid demonstration program that supports states to help move older adults and people with disabilities from nursing homes and other institutional settings back to the community. By prioritizing independence and personal choice, MFP supports more efficient and fiscally responsible long-term services and supports (LTSS) systems.
Despite many states having MFP programs as well as its success and historically strong bipartisan support, MFP has faced repeated short-term funding extensions, creating uncertainty for states and slowing progress.
Making MFP permanent would provide stability to a proven, cost-effective program that improves the lives of older adults and people with disabilities.
