Action Needed - Congress Delays State Assistance
| Action Needed -
Congress Delays State Assistance Take Action!
$500 million at risk
The Covenant with North Carolina's Children is a coalition of over 60 service providers, civic associations, and advocacy organizations who have formed a covenant by promising to advance public policy that benefits children and families in North Carolina and to put children and youth first in our public and private lives. The Mental Health Association in NC is a member of the Covenant with North Carolina's Children.
MHANC received the following action alert and strongly encourage you to act on this very important issue. North Carolina legislators, like those in dozens of other states across the country, have been counting on Congress to extend federal assistance to help them pay for critical health and education programs. Specifically, North Carolina's leaders have included approximately $500 million in their budget proposals that would come from an extension of an increased federal match for state spending on Medicaid (commonly known as the FMAP extension).
Unfortunately, Congress stripped the FMAP extension from the jobs bill that it passed last week, which could leave North Carolina with an increased budget hole of $500 million. The removal of an additional $500 million from a barebones state budget would be devastating for the education, health and well-being of North Carolina's children.
Even though the next fiscal year starts in less than one month, there's still time for Congress to pass the FMAP extension.
Please contact your member of Congress and North Carolina's senators to tell them that you're counting on them to extend the FMAP increase.
